Problems and Perspectives in Irish History Since 1800

About this book

This volume of essays in honor of Patrick Buckland reflects the making of modern Irish historical writings. It addresses several key issues and topics: Irish emigration and its consequences for the migrants, the host country and the land they left behind; the sharpening of sectarian conflict in Ireland and efforts to overcome this; Anglo-Irish relations and in particular the role of Irish nationalism in this context; and the relationship between politics and culture.
