Belfast Politics, arguably one of the most important texts in
modern Irish history, appeared in 1794 as a collection of twenty
essays outlining a moderate political position in the increasingly
polarised politics of 1790s Ireland. It contains the seeds of the
so-called 'transformation' of so many late eighteenth-century
Ulster radicals into the Unionists of the early nineteenth-century.
Although sharing many of the political principles and much of the
language which inspired the United Irishmen, including support for
the American Revolution and the use of civic humanist and
Enlightenment discourse, Bruce and Joy maintained that these ideas
were consistent with, and best served within, the framework of the
British constitution, and their book was unique in bringing an
inclusive notion of 'Britishness' to the mainstream Irish reform
movement.
