Wolfe Tone: Second Edition
Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763-1798) was the founder of Irish Republican nationalism. As such his political ideas and the circumstances of his life and early death have become powerful political weapons in the hands of later nationalists. Today his name still arouses strong passions and he is hailed as the first prophet of an independent Ireland.Published originally in 1989, Marianne Elliott’s book was the first major biography of Tone, using a wealth…

‘Our Darkest Days’: Religious Persecution and Catholic Identity
Catholics responded to Protestant perceptions outlined in previous chapters with resentment, sometimes expressed in violence (though far less than Protestant mythology has claimed), sometimes in constitutional campaigns to win back what they had lost, and, most of all, in the development of a counter-culture espousing the very traits disliked by Protestants. And since it was their religion for which they were penalized, this became the most impor…
Irishness at the Altar
This association of Irishness with Catholicism has been common for a number of centuries. It lies behind many of the problems in Anglo–Irish relations, informing the thought processes of successive generations of most Irish and British people and continuing to bedevil the situation in Northern Ireland. Nor has this notion been confined to Catholics. It was also proclaimed by Protestants, often dismissively so. Modern Irish nationalism is built on…
‘Beached’: Religious Minorities in Partitioned Ireland
Partition in 1921 created two states, informed by the separate religious identities outlined in previous chapters. Protestants in the South and Catholics in the North felt abandoned. Southern Protestants, of course, had long experience of being a minority, and their economically privileged position remained, even if significantly reduced. The determination of successive southern governments to be seen to act even-handedly towards its minority als…
The Poor are Always with us; the Poor are Always Catholic
Independent Ireland’s predominantly Catholic culture was frequently blamed for its economic underdevelopment before the ‘Celtic Tiger’ of the 1990s. Certainly there is some justice in the argument that a national narrative based on victimhood and persecution scarcely encourages renewal or self-criticism. Protestant identity had its own narrative of victimhood, but with one major difference: it did not see poverty as a key element. Quite the contr…

The Church of Ireland as Establishment
One of the reasons for Protestantism’s fears of Catholicism as a threatening monolith was its own divisions, divisions reflected in social and economic status as well as theology. Irish-language sources periodically made the distinction between Church and Dissenting Protestants. However, whatever the social class or denomination of Protestants, there is a common thread in Irish-language, Catholic, and later nationalist sources: Protestants were f…
Dedication
Irish Christians Again
In 1977 Punch magazine published its humorous (if somewhat condescending) cartoon on the Northern Ireland Troubles: ‘Oh dear, not the Irish Christians Again’ (Plate 1). This book too is about the historic divisions between Ireland’s main religious communities. In my choice of topic I had before me the formidable precedent of earlier Ford Lectures delivered by F. S. L. Lyons in 1978. These were later published in his influential Culture and Anarch…
The ‘Outlanders’ of Ulster
Arthur Clery thought the southern Protestants capable of absorption into ‘Irishness’. Look north, however, and there you would find the ‘unabsorbable’ ‘outlanders’. ‘To pass Goraghwood is like crossing the highest ridge of the Alps. You leave behind you the kindly people of the South, and come upon the cold and harsh-tongued members of another nation.’ He envisaged shedding east Ulster north of a line drawn from Newry to Derry, ‘our’ boundary, sh…
Protestantism and the Spectre of Popery
Recalling his schooldays in the 1930s and 1940s, the Belfast writer Robert Harbinson spoke of learning little history, except ‘the Protestant story’, ‘over and over again’. ‘On leaving school . . . I had no notion of the world’s past other than a few prehistoric tales and dreary details concerning our Protestant faith and the unrelieved darkness of Rome.’ In looking at Protestant identity in Ireland I am aware of the dangers of homogenizing the d…
When God Took Sides: Religion and Identity in Ireland—Unfinished History
The struggle between Catholic and Protestant has shaped Irish history since the Reformation, with tragic consequences up to the present day. But how do Catholics and Protestants in Ireland see each other? And how do they view their own communities and what these communities stand for? Tracing the history of religious identities in Ireland over the last three centuries, Marianne Elliott argues that these two questions are inextricably linked and t…

The Origins and Transformation of Early Irish Republicanism
The history of Irish republicanism has always suffered from an excessive concentration on its later phases. But much light can be thrown on its essential characteristics by a closer examination of its origins. A full understanding of such a contradictory movement would require an investigation of the mutations in public consciousness during the last three centuries. But most historians agree in tracing its origins to the United Irish Society of t…
