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.
