The latter decades of the eighteenth century were for Ireland an
era of momentous political development. This book surveys the
social, economic, and intellectual background; indicates the links
between Ireland and Great Britain and the rest of the Empire;
examines the machinery of central and local government; and
describes the course of politics at a time when political activity
greatly accelerated, and was strongly influenced by external
forces. R. B. McDowell analyses the political agitation and
agrarian discontent of the 1790s, and the threats which they posed
both to national defence and to the maintenance of law and order.
He concludes with an examination of the insurrection of 1798, and
the British government's attempt to solve the Irish question by the
union of Ireland with Great Britain.
