Partition represents the most fundamental revolution in modern
Irish history. By 1925 the country had been divided into two states
embodying rival religious and political identities, an outcome
unthinkable only a decade before. While often analysed through the
lens of elite high politics, partition was by definition a mass
participation event, where decision making was shaped by elections,
propaganda and savage acts of violence in defence of or in
opposition to the new settlement. By examining the complex
interaction of nationalism, religion and politics, Robert Lynch
seeks to understand how partition was constructed and imagined by
Irish people themselves, arguing for a relocation of partition at
the centre of historical understandings of events in Ireland which
spanned the Great War. Lynch highlights the deep confusion and
expediency which lay behind the partition plan, and how it failed
to provide answers to the complex and enduring problems of Irish
identity.
