Sean O'Casey in Context
Sean O'Casey is one of Ireland's best-known writers. He is the most frequently performed playwright in the history of the Irish National Theatre, and his work is often revived onstage elsewhere. O'Casey is also widely studied in schools, colleges, and universities in the English-speaking world. This book offers a new contextualisation of this famous writer's work, revisiting his association with Irish nationalism, historical revisionism, and cele…
Introduction
How might the history of Ireland's revolution be reassessed if viewed within a transnational, comparative or global framework? Drawing attention to recent writing on the subject, this introduction considers the conceptual and historiographical issues at stake in reframing the history of the Irish Revolution, as well as considering potential limitations to these approaches. We assess what topics in particular lend themselves to a fresh perspective…
Revolution, 1916–1923
Remembering 1916
The year 1916 witnessed two events that would profoundly shape both politics and commemoration in Ireland over the course of the following century. Although the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme were important historical events in their own right, their significance also lay in how they came to be understood as iconic moments in the emergence of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach drawing on his…
Film, History and Memory
Using an interdisciplinary approach, Film, History and Memory broadens the focus from 'history', the study of past events, to 'memory', the processes – individual, generational, collective or state-dr
The Abbey Rebels of 1916
The Abbey Theatre played a leading role in the politicisation of the revolutionary generation that won Irish freedom, but comparatively little is known about the men and women who formed the lifeblood of the institution: those whose radical politics drove them to fight in the 1916 Rising. Drawing on a huge range of previously unpublished material, The Abbey Rebels of Easter 1916 explores the experiences, hopes and dreams of these remarkable but l…
Truth at 24 frames a second? A working dialogue between a film-maker and a historical consultant about the making of The Enigma of Frank Ryan
We employ a practice-based methodology based on a ‘live’ film project to explore the different ways that film-makers and historians narrate the past. Through a case-study of the production and exhibition of a drama-documentary feature-film, The Enigma of Frank Ryan, on which both authors (film-maker Bell and historian McGarry) worked respectively as director and historical consultant, we explore a range of critical issues arising from our collabo…
Southern Ireland, 1922–32
Established in 1922, the Irish Free State faced serious challenges from the outset. Military and political opposition, led by anti-treaty republicans, threatened its survival until the end of the Civil War in 1923. The imperial constraints imposed by the Anglo-Irish Treaty and nationalist resentment at partition and the failure to achieve full independence posed more long-term challenges to Cumann na nGaedheal. Although successful in building on …
One cut too many? History and film
This article explores the different ways that film-makers and historians approach the narrating of the past. It draws upon a collaborative, practice-based case study of a feature film project, The enigma of Frank Ryan, in order to explore the role of the history film as a vehicle for extending historical understanding. In the dialogue between film-maker and historian, a range of issues regarding the import of the history film for the practice or …

Twentieth-century Ireland Revisited
If the volume of survey histories is anything to go by, the present period is a vibrant one for modern Irish historiography. While such books used to arrive at the leisurely pace of three or four a decade J.J. Lee's Ireland 1912-1985 and Roy Foster's Modern Ireland being the most outstanding and influential surveys of the 1980s' the last decade has seen the publication of survey histories of, or encompassing, twentieth-century Ireland by Tim Pat …

Irish newspapers and the Spanish Civil War
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. George Orwell (1943) The Spanish Civil War was one of the most controversial…
