Reading the Irish Woman: Studies in Cultural Encounters and Exchange, 1714–1960
Reading the Irish Woman: Studies in Cultural Encounter and Exchange, 1714-1960
In 1700 few Irishwomen were literate. Most lived in a rural environment, rarely encountered a book or a play or ventured much beyond their own domestic space. By 1960 literacy was universal, all Irishwomen attended primary school, had access to a variety of books, magazines, newspapers and other forms of popular media and the wider world was now part of their every-day life. This study seeks to examine the cultural encounters and exchanges inhere…
Padhraig Higgins. A Nation of Politicians: Gender, Patriotism, and Political Culture in Late Eighteenth-Century Ireland
The late eighteenth century in Ireland has attracted considerable attention from historians. Generations of scholars have analyzed and dissected Irish political developments from the founding of the Volunteer militia through to the rebellion of 1798. Authors of recent publications have implicitly suggested that there was very little left to explore in this period, and some seemed content to revisit a well-established narrative and familiar notion…

The Irish admiralty: Its organisation and development, c. 1570-1640
There were two main concerns of Tudor and Stuart governments in relation to the sea surrounding the coast of Ireland. First, and most important, there was the need to defend it from hostile ships belonging to England's enemies. This involved the security of England as much as Ireland and, throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, was usually controlled by the admiralty establishment in London. The setting out and supervision of ships to…
