The Princeton History of Modern Ireland Hardcover - 2016
by Richard Bourke (Editor); Ian McBride (Editor)
From the rear cover
"Alert to the contingency and complexity of the past, these brisk, original, and highly engaging essays portray Ireland's historical development as a matter of accident as well as design, the product of conflict and conciliation rather than the predetermined unfolding of a nation's destiny. The contributors emphasize how Irish history took place within the context of Europe, the British Empire, and the diaspora, thereby accomplishing the important task of liberating their subject from the confines of exceptionalism."--Kevin Kenny, author of The American Irish: A History
"A marvelous collection. The essays are authoritative, comprehensive, and nuanced, but at times also spiky, opinionated, and subversive of established pieties. There is something for everyone here. The book functions as an ideal primer for the uninitiated and for undergraduate students. However, experts will also find the state of the art convincingly mapped out, with many pointers toward new directions and unexplored avenues in Irish historiography."--Colin Kidd, University of St Andrews
"A stunning collection of essays by a new generation of Irish historians, bringing our knowledge right up to date and opening up original and thought-provoking pathways for future research."--Marianne Elliott, author of When God Took Sides: Religion and Identity in Ireland--Unfinished History
"Frequently sparkling with transcendent brilliance, this history of modern Ireland is an invaluable collection."--J. J. Lee, author of Ireland, 1912-1985
"Bourke and McBride have achieved broad coverage and in-depth analysis of many of the key dimensions and problems in Irish history. This invaluable book commends itself to readers for its comprehensiveness, clarity, and the contributors' courage in challenging received assumptions about Ireland and exploring Irish history in a wider global context."--Eugenio F. Biagini, author of British Democracy and Irish Nationalism 1876-1906
