The vibrant Irish public house of the nineteenth century hosted
broad networks of social power, enabling publicans and patrons to
disseminate tremendous influence across Ireland and beyond. During
the period, affluent publicans coalesced into one of the most
powerful and sophisticated forces in Irish parliamentary politics.
Among the leading figures of public life, they commanded an
unmatched economic route to middle-class prosperity, inserted
themselves into the centre of crucial legislative debates, and took
part in fomenting the issues of class, gender, and national
identity which continue to be contested today. From the other side
of the bar, regular patrons relied on this social institution to
construct, manage and spread their various social and political
causes. From Daniel O'Connell to the Guinness dynasty, from the
Acts of Union to the Great Famine, and from Christmas boxes to
Fenianism; Bradley Kadel offers a first and much-needed scholarly
examination of the 'incendiary politics of the pub' in
nineteenth-century Ireland.
