The Atlas of the Irish Revolution is a landmark publication that
presents scholarship on the revolutionary period in a uniquely
accessible manner. Featuring over 200 original maps and 300 images,
the Atlas includes 120 contributions by leading scholars from a
range of disciplines. They offer multiple perspectives on the
pivotal years from the 1912 Home Rule crisis to the end of the
Irish Civil War in 1923. Using extensive original data (much of it
generated from newly-released archival material), researchers have
mapped social and demographic change, political and cultural
activity, state and non-state violence and economic impacts. The
maps also portray underlying trends in the decades before the
revolution and capture key aspects of the revolutionary aftermath.
They show that while the Irish revolution was a 'national' event,
it contained important local and regional variations that were
vital to its outcomes. The representation of island-wide trends
stand alongside street-level, parish, county and provincial studies
that uncover the multi-faceted dynamics at play.The Atlas also
captures the international dimensions of a revolution that occurred
amidst the First World War and its tumultuous aftermath.
Revolutionary events in Ireland received global attention because
they profoundly challenged the British imperial project. Key
revolutionaries operated transnationally before, during and after
the conflict, while the Irish diaspora provided crucial support
networks. The often neglected roles of women and workers are
illuminated, while commentators consider the legacies of the
revolution, including collective memories, cultural representations
and historical interpretations. The Atlas of the Irish Revolution
brings history to life for general readers and students, as well as
academics. It represents a ground-breaking contribution to the
historical geography of these compelling years of conflict,
continuity and change.
