Book Description
Few events in Irish history have generated such an output of writing, reflection and controversy as the siege of Derry in 1689. In fact, the events of those months still resonate in modern politics. Controversies over commemorations of the siege have often resulted in violence on the streets of Derry and elsewhere. This volume of essays seeks to explore these events and their profound impact on the literature, history, politics, and popular cul-ture of Ireland. Given the breadth of material and timespan, these essays contribute to our understanding of some of the most intractable problems of modern Ireland as it is to our knowledge of events in the 17th century, events which still inspire popular mythology and inform the ideology of Ulster Unionism. -- Publisher description
