CHH010 Ireland Under the Union 2: After the Famine
£80.00
The four decades following the Famine were a crucial period in the making of modern Ireland. These were years when rapid cultural change seemed to be reducing the differences between Ireland and other parts of the United Kingdom. Yet it was also during this period that three distinctively Irish political allegiances took shape. The Fenian movement initiated a tradition of revolutionary nationalism, relying heavily on American support, that continues to the present day. Charles Stewart Parnell created an alternative nationalist tradition, relying on a potent combination of land, religion and patriotism. And a newly created Unionist movement united the great majority of Irish Protestants in defence of the existing union of Ireland Great Britain.
