Inhaltsangabe

This volume brings together distinguished historians of Ireland, each of whom tackles a key question, issue or event in Irish history since the eighteenth century and:

* examines its historiography
* assesses the context of new interpretations
* considers the strengths and weaknesses of revisionist ideas
* offers their own interpretation.

Topics covered are not only of historical interest but, in the context of recent revisionist debates, of contemporary political significance.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Revisionism has been an important issue in Irish history for several years, as varying partisan accounts of the Irish past have been rewritten and 'rescued' by journalists and historians of different political persuasions. This textbook brings together distinguished historians of Ireland, each of whom tackles a key question, issue or event in Irish history since the eighteenth century and examines its historiography, assesses the context of new interpretations, considers the strengths and weaknesses of revisionist ideas, and offers their own interpretation.
