The present-day Irish Republic was created by a revolutionary elite
which developed between 1858 and 1900. This book analyses the
social origins of the revolutionaries who became rulers of Ireland
after 1921, and examines their political ideologies and prejudices.
The author argues that they were heavily influenced not only by
ancient agrarian grievances and memories of the Famine, but also by
contemporary Catholic abhorrence of the Protestant and secular
world represented by England and America. Personal resentments also
played their part; many felt their faith, their nation, and their
class were slighted in the British Ireland of the period, and
regarded themselves as morally superior not only to their British
and Anglo-Irish rulers, but also to to the vast mass of their
Catholic fellow-countrymen and co-religionists. Drawing on the
evidence of private letters and diaries, and the writings of
popular journalism, Nationalist Revolutionaries makes an original
contribution to Irish historiography by reconstructing the private
thoughts behind the political public faces.
