Focusing on the years 1842 to 1867, Newspapers and Newsmakers
evaluates the impact of the Dublin nationalist press on the Irish
nationalist cause in its aspirations to overthrow the 1800 Act of
Union and establish an independent Irish nation. The Dublin
nationalist journalists were totally immersed in Irish nationalist
activities, whether by reporting news or creating it, often risking
danger to themselves from the British government. Beginning with
The Nation, a newspaper that heralded a new era of Irish political
and cultural nationalism, this book charts the Dublin nationalist
press's emphatic role in the promotion of Daniel O'Connell's Repeal
of the Union campaign with its impressive peaceful mass
mobilizations, the bitter and turbulent splits between leading
Irish nationalists in 1846 and 1848, and the attempted Young
Ireland rebellion. Following the temporary downfall of the
nationalist movement, and in response to the Great Famine, the
Dublin nationalist journalists sought an ideological reconstruction
of the Irish nationalist cause that included a long-term commitment
to revolutionary nationalism leading to the rise of the Irish
Republican Brotherhood. Drawing upon critical analyses of the
political and literary contents of the Dublin nationalist
newspapers, emphasis is placed upon the power of ideas,
particularly the impassioned dynamics between constitutional
nationalism and revolutionary nationalism. This book also focuses
on the thinking of high-profile nationalist writers such as Thomas
Davis and John Mitchel and the inspiration they gave to their
contemporaries and future Irish nationalists alike. Newspapers and
Newsmakers establishes that what was written in the Dublin
nationalist press during the mid-nineteenth century had a powerful
and enduring influence on the development of Irish nationalism.
