Eighteenth-century Dublin contained the largest concentration of
Protestants (c.70,000) in Ireland. Freemen of the guilds alone -
who were entitled to a parliamentary vote - were almost as numerous
as the entire landed class. These merchants, master craftsmen, and
shopkeepers, most of them members of the established church, became
firm supporters of the Patriot movement that culminated in the
winning of legislative independence in 1782. Dr Jacqueline Hill
draws on an extensive range of pamphlet and other sources, in order
to examine the freemen's contribution to Irish Patriotism. She
considers their challenge to oligarchy, their attitudes to Britain,
and, crucially, their attitudes to Catholics. Offering the first
detailed analysis of the ideological nature of Irish Patriotism in
its wider British, American, and European context, Dr Hill also
provides a fresh perspective on the transformation of
eighteenth-century Patriots into nineteenth-century Unionists.
