Book Description
The elusive search for stability is the subject of Professor D. George Boyce's Nineteenth-Century Ireland, the fifth in the New Gill History of Ireland series. Nineteenth-century Ireland began and ended in armed revolt. The bloody insurrections of 1798 were the proximate reasons for the passing of the Act of Union two years later. The 'long nineteenth century' lasted until 1922, by which the institutions of modern Ireland were in place against a background of the Great War, the Ulster rebellion and the armed uprising of the nationalist Ireland. The hope was that, in an imperial structure, the ethnic, religious and national differences of the inhabitants of Ireland could be reconciled and eliminated. Nationalist Ireland mobilised a mass democratic movement under Daniel O'Connell to secure Catholic Emancipation before seeing its world transformed by the social cataclysm of the Great Irish Potato Famine. At the same time, the Protestant north-east of Ulster was feeling the first benefits of the Industrial Revolution. Although post-Famine Ireland modernised rapidly, only the north-east had a modern economy. The mixture of Protestantism and manufacturing industry integrated into the greater United Kingdom and gave a new twist to the traditional Irish Protestant hostility to Catholic political demands. In the home rule period from the 1880s to 1914, the prospect of partition moved from being almost unthinkable to being almost inevitable. Nineteenth-century Ireland collapsed in the various wars and rebellions of 1912–22. Like many other parts of Europe than and since, it had proved that an imperial superstructure can contain domestic ethnic rivalries, but cannot always eliminate them. Nineteenth-Century Ireland: Table of Contents Introduction - The Union: Prelude and Aftermath, 1798–1808 - The Catholic Question and Protestant Answers, 1808–29 - Testing the Union, 1830–45 - The Land and its Nemesis, 1845–9 - Political Diversity, Religious Division, 1850–69 - The Shaping of Irish Politics (1): The Making of Irish Nationalism, 1870–91 - The Shaping of Irish Politics (2): The Making of Irish Unionism, 1870–93 - From Conciliation to Confrontation, 1891–1914 - Modernising Ireland, 1834–1914 - The Union Broken, 1914–23 - Stability and Strife in Nineteenth-Century Ireland

Book Description
This collection challenges the view that national identification or religious affiliation provided such a strong focus in the lives of individuals as to render unimportant ties, such as those of geography, class, social background, or sectional interest. Power, wealth, and influence were distributed in myriad ways in the 19th century, and often through localized elites or social networks. County clubs, old school networks, and voluntary and charitable organizations appeared throughout the century, vying for the attention of the established elite and the rising middle classes, alongside political parties, freemasonry, and sports and social clubs. Aspirational behavior was evident at many levels of society and affected Irish men and women of all religious backgrounds. Contents include: architectures of gentility in 19th-century Ireland * building Victorian Dublin: Meade & Son and the expansion of the city * elites, ritual, and the legitimation of power on an Irish landed estate, 1855-1890 * elite women as household managers in late 19th-century Ireland * solicitors as elites in mid-19th-century Irish landed society * elites in politics and journalism in Ireland, 1870-1918 * influence of book club members on Belfast's civic identity in the 19th century * the Big House at play: archery as an elite pursuit from the 1830s to the 1870s * Lady Gregory's fans: the Irish Protestant landed class and negotiations of power * the emergence of an Irish middle class in 19th-century Manchester * Irish tourists and the definition of a national elite * a new role for Irish Anglicans in the later 19th century * visual parody and political commentary: John Doyle and Daniel O'Connell * Jeremiah Jordan, Methodist and Nationalist MP * the Irish revival, elite competition, and the First World War (Series: Nineteenth-Century Ireland)

Book Description
This book offers a new interpretation of the place of periodicals in nineteenth-century Ireland. Case studies of representative titles as well as maps and visual material (lithographs, wood engravings, title-pages) illustrate a thriving industry, encouraged, rather than defeated by the political and social upheaval of the century. Titles examined include: The Irish Magazine, and Monthly Asylum for Neglected Biography and The Irish Farmers’ Journal, and Weekly Intelligencer; The Dublin University Magazine; Royal Irish Academy Transactions and Proceedings and The Dublin Penny Journal; The Irish Builder (1859-1979); domestic titles from the publishing firm of James Duffy; Pat and To-Day’s Woman. The Appendix consists of excerpts from a series entitled ‘The Rise and Progress of Printing and Publishing in Ireland’ that appeared in The Irish Builder from July of 1877 to June of 1878. Written in a highly entertaining, anecdotal style, the series provides contemporary information about the Irish publishing industry.

Book Description
We think of economic theory as a scientific speciality accessible only to experts, but Victorian writers commented on economic subjects with great interest. Gordon Bigelow focuses on novelists Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell and compares their work with commentaries on the Irish famine (1845–1852). Bigelow argues that at this moment of crisis the rise of economics depended substantially on concepts developed in literature. These works all criticized the systematized approach to economic life that the prevailing political economy proposed. Gradually the romantic views of human subjectivity, described in the novels, provided the foundation for a new theory of capitalism based on the desires of the individual consumer. Bigelow's argument stands out by showing how the discussion of capitalism in these works had significant influence not just on public opinion, but on the rise of economic theory itself.

Book Description
This book examines Irish portraits during the long nineteenth century in which figures read or hold a book. Reading fiction was cast as unmanly, while 'silent reading' allowed women of means to read widely and privately. Portraits of such women helped construct the idea of the 'New Woman' in Ireland.
