Ireland 1798-1998 war, peace and beyond

Drawing on original research and extensive readings in current scholarship, the author surveys Irish political parties, leaders, and movements with a special emphasis on the tension betwee…
Ben Jackson, The case for Scottish independence
Defying the IRA? Intimidation, Coercion and Communities during the Irish Revolution, by Brian Hughes
Brian Hughes here seeks to examine the means by which non-state militants, primarily the IRA, attempted to establish and maintain control over their communities during the Irish war of independence. He is also much interested in the forms of response which local people offered to address, and (at times) counter, these ambitions. His general idea is to map a rarely explored part of the landscape of revolutionary Ireland—that encompassing the large…

Governing Hibernia
This is a masterly study from a scholar who, over a fifty-year career, has securely established his claim to be regarded as one of the greatest historians of modern Ireland. This present book exhibits Hoppen’s characteristic strengths: witty and pellucid prose, careful but firm judgement and, above all, a vigorous analytical intelligence, which is simultaneously suspicious of airy theorising but unafraid of Big Ideas and their application. In fac…
Irish Unionists and the Empire, 1880–1920
Unionists were enthusiastic celebrants of Empire, and the political beneficiaries of popular imperialism, but these propositions need further qualification and elaboration. Irish Unionist intellectuals and propagandists showed little interest in Empire; Irish Unionist parliamentarians, even the most voluble, contributed little to debate on the Empire. The Empire and the commercial opportunities created by imperial expansion affected and intereste…

The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish History
Plantation is a key theme, and in the eyes of some historians the key theme, in the history of Early Modern Ireland but what is comprehended under that term is less self-evident than might seem apparent at first glance. Policies of plantation grew out of, and in tandem, with other state-sponsored schemes to pacify and settle the island of Ireland. Contemporaries, for instance, were quite happy to style settlers who had occupied former monastic si…
Ireland's Long Nineteenth Century of Union
Loyalists and Unionists
Organized Unionism at the end of the 19th century drew upon a long and complex heritage. It had roots in the Tory tradition, and built in particular upon an agile, well-resourced and electorally successful Irish Conservative party. Popular loyalism, defined from the 1790s, and evangelical religion, particularly significant from the 1820s onwards, were key agents for unity within Irish Protestantism and subsequently Irish Unionism. A modified Patr…

Tame Tory Hacks’? The Ulster Party at Westminster, 1922–1972
While the historiography on Ulster Unionism after partition has grown considerably in recent years, there has been no extended investigation of Unionism at Westminster (‘the Ulster Party’), its structures and effectiveness. This article uses new archival material to shed light upon the Party's membership, governance, coherence, and wider engagement. The later sections of the article review the nature of the ties binding the Party to Stormont and …
Men for All Seasons? Carson, Parnell, and the Limits of Heroism in Modern Ireland
Charles Stewart Parnell and Edward Carson both failed in their fundamental political objectives (a socially and geographically united and autonomous Ireland, as against a wholly Unionist Ireland). However, both men were the objects of great reverence during their lifetimes; and each was the focus of careful image building. Their heroic reputations were swiftly defined in regal, mystical and sexual terms: the reputation of each was commodified. Bo…

J.C. Beckett
On 16 February 1966 James Camlin Beckett, who by that time had taught in Queen’s University Belfast for twenty-one years, confided to his diary that he found it ‘hard to stay awake for an hour long lecture’ and wondered whether ‘we also go to sleep without knowing it, when we are giving a lecture instead of receiving it’. In this, the first of the lectures commemorating Beckett’s achievement, I propose — one hopes in a passably alert state — to e…

Colonel Edward Saunderson
Colonel Edward Saunderson, the original leader of Irish Unionism, and the most prominent defender of Irish landlords in the late 19th century, has suffered undue neglect. This book explores the political traditions of the Saunderson family as well as the development and repercussions of the Colonel’s career. The twin poles of Saunderson’s life, landownership and the Union, represent the central themes of this study. Saunderson’s Unionism was inti…

Unionist Politics and Protestant Society in Edwardian Ireland
Like the ‘Tory in clogs’ of Edwardian Britain, the Unionist working man has generally eluded the historian of modern Ireland. Indeed, to some extent, the image of Irish Unionism, whether popular or scholarly, has been supplied by the apologetic biographers of the ‘great men’ of loyalism, and by the rhetoric of political opponents like Michael Farrell: at any rate the historiography of the movement is peopled with irredentist squires and Anglo-Iri…
The failure of unionism in Dublin, 1900
The election contests of 1900 in St Stephen’s Green and South County Dublin were covered in detail by newspapers throughout the British Isles and have been treated as a political watershed by more recent and scholarly commentators. This interest has had a partly personal and biographical inspiration since one of the unionist candidates for South Dublin was the agrarian reformer and junior minister, Horace Plunkett; but the significance, symbolic …
Irish unionism and the Russellite threat, 1894-1906
Whether as a unionist, or as an independent, T W Russell was never taken lightly by the parliamentary representatives of late Victorian unionism: directly, and obliquely, his contribution to the evolution of their movement was immense. As a popular unionist missionary in Britain between the first two home-rule bills, and as a protégé of Joseph Chamberlain, Russell was a valuable medium of communication between the British and Irish unionist parti…
