This book brings together new research on loyalism in the 26
counties that would become the Irish Free State. It covers a range
of topics and experiences, including the Third Home Rule crisis in
1912, the revolutionary period, partition, independence and Irish
participation in the British armed and colonial service up to the
declaration of the Republic in 1949. The essays gathered here
examine who southern Irish loyalists were, what loyalism meant to
them, how they expressed their loyalism, their responses to Irish
independence and their experiences afterwards. The collection
offers fresh insights and new perspectives on the Irish Revolution
and the early years of southern independence, based on original
archival research. It addresses issues of particular
historiographical and political interest during the ongoing 'Decade
of Centenaries', including revolutionary violence, sectarianism,
political allegiance and identity and the Irish border, but, rather
than ceasing its coverage in 1922 or 1923, this book - like the
lives with which it is concerned - continues into the first decades
of southern Irish independence. List of contributors: Frank Barry,
Elaine Callinan, Jonathan Cherry, Seamus Cullen, Ian d'Alton, Sean
Gannon, Katherine Magee, Alan McCarthy, Pat McCarthy, Daniel
Purcell, Joseph Quinn, Brian M. Walker, Fionnuala Walsh, Donald
Wood
