This final volume in the Cambridge History of Ireland covers the
period from the 1880s to the present. Based on the most recent and
innovative scholarship and research, the many contributions from
experts in their field offer detailed and fresh perspectives on key
areas of Irish social, economic, religious, political, demographic,
institutional and cultural history. By situating the Irish story,
or stories - as for much of these decades two Irelands are in play
- in a variety of contexts, Irish and Anglo-Irish, but also
European, Atlantic and, latterly, global. The result is an
insightful interpretation on the emergence and development of
Ireland during these often turbulent decades. Copiously
illustrated, with special features on images of the 'Troubles' and
on Irish art and sculpture in the twentieth century, this volume
will undoubtedly be hailed as a landmark publication by the most
recent generation of historians of Ireland.

First published in 1979 as a tribute to the late Professor J.C.
Beckett, this volume of original essays on the history of
18th-century Ireland was conceived both as an exercise in revision,
challenging accepted orthodoxies, and as an attempt to open up new
areas of study in a period grown stale with competing cliches: the
"penal era" for Catholic Ireland which was also the "golden age" of
Protestant Ascendancy. As a collection, these essays may fairly be
said to have inaugurated a new era in the writing of 18th-century
Irish history, as well as launching the careers of a generation of
young scholars, a number of whom have gone on to establish
themselves as leading authorities in the period. 25 years on, the
volume still stands as a landmark, the impact and freshness of the
essays undiminished.
