D. George Boyce rejects the idea that Irish nationalism, or any
other kind, simply "happened" at a particular time. he argues that
it was the result of a long and gradually developing tradition that
owed much to many diverse groups in Irish society. Boyce identifies
the chief characteristics of Irish nationalism as a sense of race,
religion, and territorial integrity, all of which were influenced
profoundly by the power of England. The book explains how Irish
nationalists had to struggle to overcome regionalism, passivity,
rural backwardness, limited horizons, class differences and
religious conflict, and how, in seeking a common denominator that
would enable them to mobilize the "nation," nationalist leaders
sacrificed their fundamental goal--the creation of an Irish nation
that would embrace all classes and creeds of Irishmen.
This updated edition considers the development of nationalism in
the light of recent political events and places the pheneomenon of
nationalism in its contemporary European setting, stressing issues
of language and religion.
