France's Lost Empires brings together ten essays that collectively
investigate the historical, cultural, and political legacies of
French colonialism and, specifically, the endings of the French
empire(s). Combining analyses of three "lost" territories (Canada,
India, and Saint Dominigue) of the "first" French colonial empire,
that of the Ancien Regime, with investigations of the
decolonization of the "new" colonies of the "second" French
overseas empire (specifically in North Africa), the essays
presented here investigate the ways in whicih colonial loss has
been absorbed and narrativized within French culture and society,
and how nostalgia for that past has played a fundamental role in
shaping French colonial discourses and memories. Beginning with the
Haitian Revolution and its historicization during the 1820s and
ending with an examination of the "postcolonial" republic at the
end of the twentieth century, the chronological structure of the
volume serves to reveal the extent to which the memories of
territorial loss have been sustained throughout French colonial
history and remain evident in current metropolitan representations
and memories of empire. In analyzing the longevity of these tropes
of loss and nostalgia, and their importance in shaping France's
identity as a colonial power both during and after periods of
colonization, France's Lost Empires reveals a basic premise: it is
not simply successful conquest which creates a self-validating
colonial discourse; failure can do so too. Indeed, the pervasive
and tenacious nostalgia for past colonial glories, variously
identified by the contributors to this volume, suggests that, for
some, the emotional attachment to France's colonies has not waned
and remians today as it was in nineteenth-century France.

The essays in this collection all revolve around the notion of
change in Ireland, whether by revolution or by evolution.
Developments in the shared histories of Ireland and Great Britain
are an important theme throughout the book. The volume begins by
examining two remarkable Irishmen on the make in Georgian London:
the boxing historian Pierce Egan and the extraordinary Charles
Macklin, eighteenth-century actor, playwright and manslaughterer.
The focus then moves to aspects of Hibernian influence and the
presence of the Irish Diaspora in Great Britain from the medieval
period up to the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
celebrations of St Patrick's Day in Manchester. The book also
considers the very different attitudes to the British Empire
evident in the career of the 1916 rebel Sir Roger Casement and the
Victorian philologist and colonial servant Whitley Stokes. Further
essays look at writings by Scottish Marxists on the state of
Ireland in the 1920s and the pronouncements on the Troubles by John
Lennon and Paul McCartney. The book also examines change in the
culture of the island of Ireland, from the development of the Irish
historical novel in the nineteenth century, to ecology in
contemporary Irish women's poetry, to the present state of the
Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. Contemporary Irish authors
examined include Roddy Doyle, Joseph O'Connor and Martin McDonagh.
