The decade of the 1860s was a turbulent period in Irish politics,
both at home and abroad, and saw the rise and apparent failure of
the separatist Fenian movement. In England, this period also
witnessed the first realistic attempt at establishing a genuinely
popular press amid Irish migrants to Britain. This was to be an
ideological battle as both secular nationalists and the Roman
Catholic Church, for their very distinct reasons, desperately
wished to communicate with a reading public which owed its
existence in large measure to the massive immigration of the years
of the Famine. Based on extensive archival research, this book
provides the first serious study of the Irish press in Britain for
any period, through a detailed analysis of three London newspapers,
The Universal News (1860-9), The Irish Liberator (1863-4) and The
Irish News (1867). In so doing, it provides us with a window onto
the complex of relationships which shaped the lives of the
migrants: with each other, with their English fellow Catholics,
with the Catholic Church and with the state. A central question for
this press was how to reconcile the twin demands of faith and
fatherland.
