DOWNLOAD EBOOKIreland, Philadelphia and the Re-invention of America is a new study of the relationships across the Irish Atlantic at a vital period in the histories of Ireland and America. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Maurice Bric analyses the controversial years between 1760 and 1800. Most of Ireland admired America from afar. Many also decided that it represented a better place to settle and chose to make their lives there. They were greeted in America with mixed emotions, not the least of which were concerns that after the Revolution they might de-stabilise the new republic. Yet the Irish accounted for the highest and most visible stream of immigrants into America and became a catalyst for how the post-revolutionary republic accommodated its new citizens. They also challenged America after 1776 as well as the ways in which the â??American characterâ? was being discussed at the time. This became even more obvious during the 1790s,òthe decade of the United Irishmen, when temporary exiles such as Wolfe Tone and Archibald Hamilton Rowan linked the nationâ??s capital at Philadelphia with radicalism in Ireland. This book analyses that story and re-imagines the Irish Atlantic as Ireland drifted towards the Union and America towards a steadier state.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis analysis of Irish antiquarian writings and activities in the late 18th century shows the extent to which views of the pre-colonial Irish past were shaped by contemporary political debates, particularly the Catholic Question, but also the debate as to the relative civility or barbarity of the native Irish.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book brings together thirteen of the leading historians of the period to investigate the political, social and cultural significance of the Irish Act of Union. Marking the bicentenary of the passage of the act, the contributors combine to provide an authoritative account of the state of the historical debate. Divided in four sections, the book investigates the origins of the act, its actual passage into legislation, the political debate which surrounded the act in Ireland and beyond, and the central role played by religious considerations in its final shaping. This book provides the results of recent research into the passing of the Union, and supplies the reader with an indispensable starting-point for understanding the significance of the 1801 union of Ireland with Britain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the Western world as a whole, the period from about 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. It is the thesis of this major work that the American, French, and Polish revolutions, and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and other countries, though each distinctive in its own way, were all manifestations of recognizably similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts.
