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…
Forgetful Remembrance
The enigma of Roddy McCorley Goes to Die
The ballad Roddy McCorley is widely recognised as one of the most popular Irish rebel songs, a traditional genre for which Ireland is particularly renowned. The earliest written allusion to McCorley is a reference in the Belfast News-Letter from early 1800 that refers to the arrest of 'banditti', who had been active in county Antrim in the aftermath of the insurrection. In preparation for rebellion, the largely Presbyterian leadership of the Unit…
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…

The rediscovery of Jewish Ireland

Probing the boundaries of Irish memory
It has long been accepted that memory plays a prominent role in the construction of Irish identities and yet historians of Ireland were relatively late in addressing the vogue for memory studies that emerged in the 1980s. Its arrival as a core theme in Irish historical studies was announced in 2001 with the publication of History and memory in modern Ireland , edited by Ian McBride, whose seminal introduction essay – the essential starting point …
Ulster Liberalism, 1778–1876
In attempting to resolve the conflict that had long troubled people in Northern Ireland, the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 recognised the ‘diversity of their identities and traditions’, but adopted a reductive interpretation of this diversity by institutionalising a ‘parity of esteem between the two main communities’. The overarching model of ‘two traditions’, an emergent Catholic-nationalism confronting an entrenched Protestant-unionism, has com…
Disremembering 1798? An Archaeology of Social Forgetting and Remembrance in Ulster
On the face of it, the legacy of the 1798 rebellion in the northeastern Irish counties of Antrim and Down seems to be a paradigmatic case of “collective amnesia.” Over the course of the long nineteenth century, growing identification of the Protestants of the area with unionism, loyalism and Orangeism, fortified through opposition to the rise of nationalism amongst Catholics, encouraged public effacement of discomforting memories of the mass part…
La ballade de Robin Gill
Le concept de tradition locale est au cœur de l'ethnologie irlandaise et pourtant il ne va pas de soi. Cet article éclaire la construction socioculturelle des traditions locales à partir d'une étude de cas : la narration et la diffusion d'un épisode de l'Histoire populaire relatant l'invasion en 1798 de l'ouest de l'Irlande par les Français, venus soutenir une insurrection républicaine qui échoua. On peut ainsi retracer l'élaboration de la tradit…
Tourism, Landscape, and the Irish Character
According to the most recent edition of the popular Rough Guide to Ireland, ‘among the romantic preconceptions visitors bring to Ireland, it is their expectations of the landscape that are most likely to be fulfilled and indeed surpassed’. The secret of Ireland's appeal is to be found in the coupling of spectacular landscapes with ‘the unhurried nature of rural living’ (9th edn. 2008, p. 6). Such observations unconsciously stem from a tradition o…

Who were “the Men of the West”? Folk historiographies and the reconstruction of democratic histories
In 1798, a French expeditionary force under General Humbert landed in County Mayo to support the United Irishmen's rebellion. Both the French and their local allies were eventually defeated by British and Yeomanry troops, but the memory of the events and personalities of “the Year of the French” was still strong when the Irish Folklore Commission started its collecting mission in the 1930s. This article suggests that the folk narratives of these …
