This collection explores how the British left has interacted with
the 'Irish question' throughout the twentieth century, the left's
expression of solidarity with Irish republicanism and relationships
built with Irish political movements. Throughout the twentieth
century, the British left expressed, to varying degrees, solidarity
with Irish republicanism and fostered links with republican,
nationalist, socialist and labour groups in Ireland. Although this
peaked with the Irish Revolution from 1916 to 1923 and during the
'Troubles' in the 1970s-80s, this collection shows that the British
left sought to build relationships with their Irish counterparts
(in both the North and South) from the Edwardian to Thatcherite
period. However these relationships were much more fraught and
often reflected an imperial dynamic, which hindered political
action at different stages during the century. This collection
explores various stages in Irish political history where the
British left attempted to engage with what was happening across the
Irish Sea. The chapters in this book were originally published in
the journal, Contemporary British History.
