Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Fitzpatrick is Professor of Modern History at Trinity College, Dublin and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. He graduated from the universities of Melbourne and Cambridge, which he revisited in 2013 as Parnell Fellow in Irish Studies at Magdalene College. He is an acknowledged pioneer in diverse aspects of modern Irish history, including the Irish revolutionary experience as revealed in local sources, the transformative impact of the Great War, the underlying affinities between Ireland's Protestant and Catholic communities, the analysis of personal testimony to illuminate migration, the enduring appeal and influence of the Orange Order, and the use of historical evidence to reinterpret the work of Irish writers such as Yeats, Synge, and MacNeice. His works include Politics and Irish Life: Provincial Experience of War and Revolution (1977), Irish Emigration, 1801-1921 (1984), Oceans of Consolation: Personal Accounts of Irish Migration to Colonial Australia (1994), The Two Irelands, 1912-1939 (1998), Harry Boland's Irish Revolution (2003) and 'Solitary and Wild': Frederick MacNeice and the Salvation of Ireland (2012). His most recent edited volume is Terror in Ireland, 1916-1923 (2012), produced by the Trinity History Workshop, which he founded in 1986.
