The study of crime and violence in all its multifarious forms
remains one of the most productive areas of enquiry for Irish
historians. Considered an inordinately violent and unruly society
by many contemporaries, nineteenth-century Ireland was notorious
for sectarian unrest, agrarian disorder, alcohol-fuelled casual
fighting, the seditious activities of various illegal underground
organisations, as well as a host of other 'outrages'. The image of
an Ireland in an almost perpetual state of tumult during the
nineteenth century, however, is a false one, invariably pedalled by
partisan observers with a particular political or religious agenda
to satisfy. Modern historical scholarship has corrected many
lingering assumptions about the extent and character of Irish
violence, but much work remains to be done. This important
collection of essays, based on original research delivered at one
of the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland's most
successful annual conferences, draws together some of Ireland's
leading historians as well emerging talents to examine a broad
range of topics under the banner of crime and violence. Irish
secret societies, agrarian disorder, security and the law,
sectarian violence, and a host of similar topics benefit from
innovative methodological perspectives and advanced historical
scholarship. List of contributors: Kyle Hughes, Donald M. MacRaild,
Michael Huggins, Terence M. Dunne, Jess Lumsden Fisher, John
McGrath, Richard J. Butler, Colin W. Reid, Richard A. Keogh, Ciara
Breathnach, Laurence M. Geary, Ian d'Alton, Daragh Curran, Gemma
Clark, Patrick Maume, Teresa O'Donnell and Virginia Crossman.
