Irish society at the end of the twentieth century is still engaged in an ongoing debate with a revolutionary settlement from which it is only now beginning to emerge. This series of thought-provoking essays on post-revolutionary settlement in independent Ireland addresses central themes and offers sustained historiographical critiques of current thinking. The aim of the volume is to revisit existing debates within the context of new and broader research interests to contribute to our understanding of the meaning of independence in modern Ireland.
This volume sets out to examine the history of Ireland in the years following the Dail’s ratification of independence from Britain in 1922. The different authors in the collection, all experts on different aspects of Irish history from the first half of the twentieth century, focus on a wide range of different themes. Considerations of the decline of Redmondite nationalism, the role of Unionism in the Free State, Party structures and organisation, the development of different forms of identity, the nature of economics and the place of the newly independent Ireland within the British Empire are all included. All chapters are either the result of new archival research or else offer a sustained historiographical critique of current thinking.
