Civic identity and public space: Belfast since 1780
Civic identity and public space, focussing on Belfast, and bringing together the work of a historian and two social scientists, offers a new perspective on the sometimes lethal conflicts over parades, flags and other issues that continue to disrupt political life in Northern Ireland. The first part of the book shows how these disputes had their origins in the changes that took place during the nineteenth century in the character of urban living, …
Food Rioting in Ireland in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries: The ‘Moral Economy’ of the Irish Crowd, by James Kelly
Historians of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Ireland have long made use of E.P. Thompson’s concept of a moral economy. Still forced to contend with the last echoes of a nationalist orthodoxy in which every act of protest is assumed to have been part of an ongoing war against foreign occupation, they have found in Thompson’s language a useful shorthand for interpretations that emphasise instead the complexity of relationships between rulers an…
An Irish-Speaking Island: State, Religion, Community and the Linguistic Landscape in Ireland, 1770–1870, by Nicholas M. Wolf
In 1924, the Gaelic League activist Daniel Corkery denounced historians of the Irish eighteenth century for their failure to recognise that the elite, Anglophone world on which they focused their research had coexisted with a much larger community that was distinguished by its Catholicism, its Gaelic culture, and its total rejection of the Hanoverian state. His image of a uniquely polarised society, in which rulers and ruled inhabited wholly sepa…

Like an old cathedral city: Belfast welcomes Queen Victoria, August 1849
Belfast, with its history of communal violence, is normally seen as lying outside the mainstream of nineteenth-century British urban development. The queen's visit, however, reveals a community characterized by much the same mixture of civic pride and diffidence that characterized other provincial centres. The episode also casts light on the ambivalent attitude of the British and Irish political establishments to the new industrial town, and on B…

Ireland and the Popish Plot
The political crisis of 1678–81 involved all three Stuart kingdoms. Historians of England, such as Tim Harris and John Miller, have long accepted the need to recognise the Irish dimensions of the episode. Their Irish counterparts have been slower to reciprocate. Attention was for a long time focused narrowly on one episode, the execution of Oliver Plunkett, Catholic archbishop of Armagh, misleadingly presented as part of a specifically Irish mart…
Restoration Ireland: Always Settling and Never Settled
In the history of post-medieval Ireland, the reign of Charles II now stands as the last conspicuously uncultivated patch. Over the past three decades other major gaps between the stepping-stones of the familiar nationalist master narrative—the early eighteenth century, 1801–23, the 1850s and 1860s—have, one by one, been filled. This new collection of essays provides a welcome indication that the Restoration period too is about to receive the atte…

Industry, trade and people in Ireland, 1650–1950: Essays in honour of W. H. Crawford – Edited by Brenda Collins, Philip Ollersenshaw, and Trevor Parkhill
Brenda Collins, Philip Ollersenshaw, and Trevor Parkhill , eds ., Industry, trade and people in Ireland, 1650–1950: essays in honour of W. H. Crawford ( Belfast : Ulster Historical Foundation , 2005 . Pp . xiii + 290 . 6 figs. 16 tabs. ISBN 1903688566 Hbk. £11.99 ) The golden age of Irish economic history began in the mid-1960s and lasted some two decades. The catalyst was the radically revisionist writings of the young L. M.

The Moving Statue and the Turtle Dove: Approaches to the History of Irish Religion
The Church of Ireland and the Royal Martyr: Regicide and Revolution in Anglican Political Thought c . 1660– c . 1745
The survival in published form of a range of sermons commemorating the execution of Charles I provides an opportunity to examine the character and limits of political debate within the Church of Ireland. After 1688 the task of condemning the regicide of 1649 without seeming to question the legitimacy of the Revolution presented serious difficulties. In the longer term the anniversary ceased to be contentious, as defenders of the Hanoverian establ…
Culture, Identity and Tradition
Notions of culture, identity and tradition have a well-established place in Irish political debate. The emergence of movements of cultural defence-the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the Gaelic League and the Irish-Ireland movement-were an important part of the ‘new nationalism’ of the years before World War I. The fostering of a distinctive cultural identity was duly enshrined as a central objective of the new state that was created following…

Reconsidering the Irish Act of Union
THE political, administrative and social consequences of the union of Great Britain and Ireland, and even more the eventual unravelling of the structures it created, have for the greater part of the past century provided Irish historians with a major theme. By contrast the measure itself has received little sustained analysis or discussion. F.R. Bolton's monograph, first published in 1966, remains – more than three decades later – the standard re…
A Woman's Life in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Ireland: The Case of Letitia Bushe
Letitia Bushe ( c. 1705–57 ) , daughter of a minor Irish landowner and one-time office- holder, was a member of the intellectual and cultural circle that included Swift's friend, the letter writer Mary Delany, the ‘proto-bluestocking’ Anne Donnellan, and the ‘heretic’ bishop Robert Clayton. The means by which, as a single woman of independent but limited means, Bushe maintained her position within this circle had elements of informal domestic ser…

The history of this period, as currently studied, falls neatly into three phases. The twenty-five years or so after the fall of James II are marked by limited and largely unsuccessful attempts at reform, undertaken against a background of fundamental divisions on matters of religious and political principle. Thereafter the emphasis shifts to consensus, privilege and self-interest, as we turn to the workings of a comfortable ecclesiastical establi…

The ‘blessed turf’: Cholera and popular panic in Ireland, June 1832
On 11 June 1832 Humphrey O’Sullivan, a schoolteacher living in Callan, County Kilkenny, made the following entry in his diary: The lower classes of the Irish are a credulous people. Some practical joker sent a fool out with a small piece of charred stick, or some other bit of kindling, which had been extinguished in Easter-water, or holy water, and told him to divide it into four parts, and give it to four persons in four houses, telling them tha…
