This interdisciplinary collection focuses on the history of the
future and in particular how Irish people in the nineteenth century
thought about their future, in many different ways and contexts. It
spans the long nineteenth century from c. 1800 to c. 1914 and
includes both people living on the island of Ireland and the Irish
abroad, women and men, the religious and the secular, the governing
and the governed. It explores - both individually and collectively
- the various hopes, dreams, fears and visions of the future that
permeated through nineteenth-century Ireland and Irish life. The
collection also analyses how the Irish future was conceptualized
and understood in different cultural contexts, how visions of the
future shifted in relation to the present and the past, and how the
future was instrumentalized for political, religious or other
social agendas. It attempts to go beyond the usual political or
religious discourses on what the future might hold for Irish people
and consider a broader spectrum of witnesses from a mixture of
historical and literary sources. CONTRIBUTORS: Patrick Bethel,
