W. E. H. Lecky (1838 1903) was one of the most distinguished
Victorian historians. He was unusual in the extent to which he made
use of archival sources, and noted for his ability of do justice to
both sides of an argument. His History of Ireland in the Eighteenth
Century was first published as part of A History of England in the
Eighteenth Century, but was reissued in 1892 as a five-volume work.
He has been described as the first revisionist Irish historian, as
the aim of the book was partly to respond to Froude's The English
in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century, which is markedly anti-Irish
in its sentiments. Lecky was no nationalist, and opposed Home Rule,
but wanted to provide a more truthful and balanced narrative, and
his account of the United Irishmen and the events of 1798 was
highly regarded. Volume 1 covers the period to 1760.
