Synopses & Reviews
Palgrave Advances in Irish History provides a much-needed historiographical and interpretative overview of Irish history. While there has always been a large amount of history written in and about Ireland much of it has focused only on the (putative) nation state and relations with Britain. This volume focuses not only on political histories but offers a comprehensive account of Irish history in its manifold aspects such as literary, labor, medical and women's history and history of the Irish population and diasporas, sexuality, and cultural identity, language and traditions.

Synopsis
Palgrave Advances in Irish History provides a much needed historiographical and interpretative overview of Modern Irish History. Much of Irish history has been written from a socio-political perspective, upon which this volume enlarges and offers a comprehensive account of Irish history in its manifold aspects, such as family, famine, labour, institutional, women's, cultural, Gaelic, art, identity and migration histories. Each chapter gives a critical appraisal of the writings, themes, debates and methodologies of a particular aspect of Irish History. As such, this book is an invaluable introduction to the writings which have influenced and driven Irish histories and historical debate in recent decades.
