The purpose of this book is to produce what is essentially a 'home
front' study of Ireland during the Crimean War, or more
specifically Irish society's responses to that conflict. This will
principally complement the existing research on Irish servicemen's
experiences during and after the campaign, but will also
substantially develop the limited work already undertaken on Irish
society and the conflict. This book primarily encompasses the years
of the conflict, from its origins in the 1853 dispute between
Russia and the Ottoman Empire over the Holy Places, through the
French and British political and later military interventions in
1854-5, to the victory, peace and homecoming celebrations in 1856.
Additionally, it will extend into the preceding and succeeding
decades in order to contextualise the events and actors of the
wartime years and to present and analyse the commemoration and
memorialisation processes. The approach of the study is systematic,
with the content being correlated under six convenient and coherent
themes, which will be analysed through a chronological process. The
book covers all of the major aspects of society and life in Ireland
during the period, so as to give the most complete analysis of the
various impacts of and people's responses to the war. This study is
also conducted, within the broader contexts not only of the
responses of the United Kingdom and broader British Empire but also
Ireland's relationship with those political entities, and within
Ireland's post-famine or mid-Victorian and even wider
nineteenth-century history.
