Dividing Ireland: World War One and Partition
ISBN: 9780415198806 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text aims to provide an assessment of the First World War in Ireland and its consequences, arguing that this is the key to understanding the complexities of the Irish nation today. The author explores how the War transformed the nature of the Irish and Ulster and questions how Ireland arrived from devolved self-government within the UK to a free Irish republic outside the British Empire, considering such influential figures as Michael Collins, and issues such as conscription. He examines both this process of re-evaluation, and the question of the consequences for Northern Ireland today.

Ireland and the Land Question 1800-1922
ISBN: 9780416374209 / Angielski / Miękka / 105 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This pamphlet makes use of the most recent revisionist literature to reassess the view, much propagated by nationalist sources, that Ireland was a land of impoverished peasants oppressed by English laws and absentee English landlords.
The land question has always been closely linked to the development of Irish national consciousness, and greatly exercised the minds of English politicians in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The author examines the nature of English understanding of Irish problems, which was often limited or ignorant, and attributes to it much of the unsound and...

As the...
