New Perspectives on Conflict and Ireland in the Nineteenth Century - (Society for the Study of Nineteenth Century Ireland) (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Conflict is a well-trod theme in the study of nineteenth-century Ireland and 'the Irish'. While this is especially clear in the more traditional fields of politics, religion and the military, conflict was equally manifest in every arena of Irish people's lives, both in Ireland and abroad, including in areas such as gender, class, culture and identity in domestic or personal spaces, institutional life, education and medicine. Yet, despite a broad and multi-disciplinary historiography, this is the first book to focus solely on this rich theme.

New Perspectives on Conflict and Ireland in the Nineteenth Century brings together a group of scholars based around the world and in multiple disciplines who engage with the manifestations, representations and histories of conflict pertaining to Ireland and Irish people throughout the long nineteenth century.
