Summary | The course aims to provide an understanding of some of the central themes within the history of Ireland in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It addresses the issues of emerging republicanism and unionism, the evolution of Catholic politics, and the impact of famine and migration on Irish society: it is concerned with the origins of the Irish revolution, and the resolution of the war of independence into what has sometimes been described as the counter-revolution of the 1920s. The course is designed to complement existing general courses on modern British and on modern Scottish history. It is also designed with a view to complementing more specialist courses on other modern Irish or British-Irish themes. |

Learning Outcomes
More than most national historiographies, the literature on modern Ireland is characterised by scholarly and political dispute. Students will develop their ability to assess evidence, and to formulate defensible arguments from a range of reading. They will be introduced to themes which have a relevance both to modern Ireland and to wider modern British and continental European history.
