Religion in Irish Literature and Culture
Contrary to the widespread belief in Ireland's rapid secularisation, religion continues to play a significant role in twenty-first-century Irish culture, though not in the familiar forms of Catholicism and Protestantism. This volume seeks to redress the balance and demonstrate that religion intersects with and informs past and present Irish culture. While writers from Sean O'Casey to Edna O'Brien have challenged religious oppression, Joyce's here…
“[…] My Heart and Soul Are in That Child”
This article examines the representation of children in fiction written during the 19th century about the 1798 rebellion. 1798 was the most frequent setting for historical fiction in Ireland during this period, with both nationalist and unionist authors returning to 1798 to argue for their vision for the future of Ireland. In the three novels discussed, Donal Dun O’Byrne (1869) by Denis Holland, Shilrick, the Drummer: or Loyal and True (1894) by …
‘The little Irish mother’
This article analyses the networks that were developed by Irish-born women in colonial Australia as they approached childbirth in the 1860s. Although previous historical scholarship has concentrated on the distress and disadvantage that Irish women faced, this article suggests that instead, many of these women consciously established and accessed formal and informal support as they planned for their maternity care. This article uses two data sets…
Social Memory, Reputation and the Politics of Death in the Medieval Irish Lordship
Gendered hierarchies and marked bodies
Detailed legal and court records of household and personal violence do not survive from early modern Ireland in sufficient numbers to allow for statistical analysis. However, close reading of selected court narratives about violence between householders allows analysis of the contested contemporary meanings of violence. In their descriptions, witnesses read the marks on injured bodies and interpreted their meanings according to gendered hierarchi…
Race in Irish Literature and Culture
Race in Irish Literature and Culture provides an in-depth understanding of intersections between Irish literature, culture, and questions of race, racialization, and racism. Covering a vast historical terrain from the sixteenth century to the present, it spotlights the work of canonical, understudied, and contemporary authors in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and among diasporic Irish communities. By focusing on questions related to Black Irish ident…
Exploring satisfaction with social networking sites through the lens of fan page visiting
Purpose The purpose of the current study is to examine a social network site (SNS) users' overall satisfaction with SNS use in conjunction with their fan page visiting activities. We examined overall satisfaction with SNS usage from the lens of people's perceptions acquired from the use of sub-components of SNS. Design/methodology/approach The current study employed uncertainty reduction theory (URT) and general systems theory (GST) to examine an…
Returning to Ireland from Australia 1880-1925
This article analyses Irish migrants and their descendants who returned either permanently or temporarily to Ireland in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century. Data for return of Irish-born migrants is uneven, so one of the best sources for those born in Australia and living in Ireland is in the Irish censuses of 1901 and 1911. In this analysis, we use Australian-born people present on the census nights as an approximate measure of those mig…

Histories of Religious Identity and the Irish
Researching medieval women necessitates the study of religion-bothreligious practice and religious identity. While sources may be limited forindividual faith and religious practice, there remains ample evidence forthe importance of religious identity shaping the lives of medieval religiouswomen. While finding religious women in the sources from medieval Irelandwas an important early project in my career, my later research intohow gender formed un…
A New History of the Irish in Australia
Irish republican women in Australia
The 1924–5 fundraising tour in Australia by republican activists, Kathleen Barry and Linda Kearns, although successful, has received little attention from historians, more focused on the controversial tour of Fr Michael O'Flanagan and J. J. O'Kelly the previous year. While O'Flanagan and O'Kelly's tour ended with their deportation, Barry and Kearns successfully navigated the different agendas of Irish-Australian political and social groups to org…
“English Institutions and the Irish Race”
During the 1880s there was fierce debate in colonial Australia and throughout the English‐speaking world about the functioning of increasingly democratic societies and especially who, in terms of race, class and gender, was qualified to participate in the political process. In this formative period of what later became known as the “White Australia policy”, minorities were under intense scrutiny and, within the settler population, the Catholic Ir…

At Federation, Australian citizens were popularly considered to be white and British. The apparent simplicity of those adjectives, however, underplays the ambiguity and contestation associated with both terms. This article examines cartoons published in the Bulletin and Melbourne Punch, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, to analyse how poor Irish Catholics were imagined and represented. It argues that the Irish were often understood as…
Imperial spaces
Imperial spaces takes two of the most influential minority groups of white settlers in the British Empire – the Irish and the Scots – and explores how they imagined themselves within the landscapes of its farthest reaches, the Australian colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. Using letters and diaries as well as records of collective activities such as committee meetings, parades and dinners, the book examines how the Irish and Scots built new…

The Rebels Turkish Tyranny’
This article analyses gendered violence both in the testimonies of English Protestant settlers displaced during the 1641 Irish rebellion and in the pamphlets written shortly afterwards. It argues that, given the settlers’ anxiety to highlight their vulnerability and innocence in the face of perceived native Irish barbarism, sexual violence with its suggestions of possible female acquiescence or complicity had an insecure place in their testimonie…

Abandoned Women
Points of Departure
This paper considers aspects of the local geographies of Australian emigration created in south-west Ulster by the New South Wales government-sponsored remittance emigration scheme between 1858 and 1884. The scheme mobilized the financial resources of settlers in New South Wales to part-fund the passage of friends and relatives from Britain and Ireland. The paper utilizes the comprehensive socio-economic and demographic archive generated by the s…
