- Summary:
- Editors O'Corrain (medieval history, U. College Cork) and O'Riordan (history, U. College Cork) present this book on Irish history between 1870 and 1914. The text is unique in that, rather than providing a general historical narrative, it focuses on three aspects of this time period in Ireland: the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association, the pursuit of Home Rule, and the conflicts between labour and capital. The work also differs from other historical texts in that each historical account is represented wholly, thus allowing the contradictory nature of history to be easily viewed. Those studying Irish history will find the volume a valuable contribution to the field. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
