This monograph provides the first comprehensive analysis of
industrial development in Ireland and its impact on Irish society
between 1801-1922. Studies of Irish industrial history to date have
been regionally focused or industry specific.
The book addresses this problem by bringing together the
economic and social dimensions of Irish industrial history during
the Union between Ireland and Great Britain. In this period,
British economic and political influences on Ireland were all
pervasive, particularly in the industrial sphere as a consequence
of the British industrial revolution.
By making the Irish industrial story more relevant to a wider
national and international audience and by adopting a more
multi-disciplinary approach which challenges many of the received
wisdoms derived from narrow regional or single industry studies -
this book will be of interest to economic historians across the
globe as well as all those interested in Irish history more
generally.
