Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Irish history was determined by the rise, expansion, and decline of the British Empire. And British imperial history, from the age of Atlantic expansion to the age of decolonization, was moulded in part by Irish experience. But the nature of Ireland's position in the Empire has always been a matter of contentious dispute. Was Ireland a sister kingdom and equal partner in a larger British state? Or was it, because of its proximity and strategic importance, the Empire's mostsubjugated colony? Contemporaries disagreed strongly on these questions, and historians continue to do so. Questions of this sort can only be answered historically: Ireland's relationship with Britain and the Empire developed and changed over time, as did the Empire itself. This book offers the firstcomprehensive history of the subject from the early modern era through the contemporary period. The contributors seek to specify the nature of Ireland's entanglement with empire over time: from the conquest and colonization of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, through the consolidation of Ascendancy rule in the eighteenth, the Act of Union in the period 1801-1921, the emergence of an Irish Free State and Republic, and eventual withdrawal from the British Commonwealth in 1948. They alsoconsider the participation of Irish people in the Empire overseas, as soldiers, administrators, merchants, migrants, and missionaries; the influence of Irish social, administrative, and constitutional precedents in other colonies; and the impact of Irish nationalism and independence on the Empire atlarge. The result is a new interpretation of Irish history in its wider imperial context which is also filled with insights on the origins, expansion, and decline of the British Empire.This book offers the first comprehensive history of Ireland and the British Empire from the early modern era through the contemporary period. The contributors examine each phase of Ireland's entanglement with the Empire, from conquest and colonisation to independence, along with the extensive participation of Irish people in the Empire overseas, and the impact of Irish politics and nationalism on other British colonies. The result is a new interpretation of Irish history in its wider imperialcontext which is also filled with insights on the origins, expansion, and decline of the British Empire.SERIES DESCRIPTIONThe purpose of the five volumes of the Oxford History of the British Empire was to provide a comprehensive study of the Empire from its beginning to end, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history. The volumes in the Companion Series carry forward this purpose by exploring themes that were not possible to cover adequately in the main series, and to provide fresh interpretations of significanttopics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the complexities of Irish involvement in empire. Despite complaining regularly of treatment as a colony by England, Ireland nevertheless played a significant part in Britain’s imperialism, from its formative period in the late eighteenth century through to the decolonizing years of the early twentieth century. Framed by two key events of world history, the American Revolution and Indian Independence, this book examines Irish involvement in empire in several interlinked sections: through issues of migration and inhabitation; through literary and historical representations of empire; through Irish support for imperialism and involvement with resistance movements abroad; and through Irish participation in the extensive and intricate networks of empire. Informed by recent historiographical and theoretical perspectives, and including several detailed archival investigations, this volume offers an interdisciplinary and evolving view of a burgeoning field of research and will be of interest to scholars of Irish studies, imperial and postcolonial studies, history and literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland and the Imperial Conference: Is There a Way to a Settlement? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the obvious inference is the right one. It seems safe, therefore, to conclude that during the past century Ireland has been a badly-managed concern. This conclus10n 1s peculiarly discouraging, for the reason that, during the whole of this period, there was a steady growth of good intentions in Great Britain. For the past hundred years each succeeding generation of English men, Scotsmen and Welshmen has listened more patiently than its predecessor to Irishmen setting forth their tale of grievances in Parliament, upon the platform, and in the Press. Each succeeding genera tion has striven harder than its predecessor to do its duty by Ireland, and to make reparation for the misfeasances of its grandsires down to the twentieth remove. Yet all we have to show for it is a dwindling population, an imperfect development, a perpetual discontent. If Great Britain had not been trying so hard to do its duty the results might appear less discouraging. If, like our grandsires down to the twentieth remove - from the landing of Henry the Second in the twelfth century, to the Act of Union at the beginning of the nineteenth - if, like them, we had frankly disregarded our duty to Ireland, we might now perhaps console ourselves with the hope of remedying present evils by reforming our own characters and mending our ways. But we reformed our own characters and mended our ways long ago and yet the evils refuse to be remedied. Putting matters at their very lowest, and looking at England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India merely as so many branches of the same business, what would the verdict be on net results Would any clear-headed accountant, when he came to con trast the dwindling of the one with the prosperity of all the others, hesitate for a single moment to say that there must be something very wrong with the management of Ireland? He might not be able at the first glance to determine whether the bad results were due to want of foresight, vacillation, neglect, corruption or stupidity but without the least doubt he would lay the blame, not upon the rank and file of the stafi, but upon the managers and their methods of organisation. It would be absurd, -of course, to attempt any strict comparison between a country and a shop. None the less, Gladstone's famous statement that you cannot excuse failure of govern ment by the doctrine of a double dose of original sin in the governed, is one of the least disputable propositions ever laid down by any statesman.

Book excerpt: A nation's perception of its own past has a critical effect on its performance in the present and on its potential in the future. In the case of Ireland this self-perception has been characterized by an unfounded and crippling lack of confidence. It needs to be corrected. Moreover Irish history, as it is commonly taught poses several unanswerable questions. The story contains so many improbabilities and contradictions that it makes very little sense. If we are to understand what really happened, the principal forces involved need to be properly identified, described and disentangled from one another. After that, another story emerges, which deserves to be told.
