Pop-up History Library:
bring along your Dublin City library card and borrow history books
and historical novels from the Festival’s History Library in Dublin Castle.
The city of Dublin is steeped in history. A Viking town on a pre-Christian settlement;
a Royal Charter since 1172; the centre of colonial administration for hundreds of
years, and the capital of a proud independent Republic, for over a thousand years
the City and its citizens have been at the centre of historic events in Ireland
and beyond.
Walking the streets of such an historic place as they do, it’s no surprise that
Dubliners have a great interest in history, as do the many visitors from near and far
who add to the colour and atmosphere of our fair City.
This interest in history has a new focus in the Dublin Festival of History, an initiative
of the City Council’s library and archive service.
In this inaugural year, it’s wonderful to see such a stellar line-up of Irish and
international historians contributing to the Festival. There are debates on historical
fiction, the Great Irish Famine, and the Irish revolutionary period, as well as lectures
by Roy Hattersley, Jung Chang, Simon Schama, Tom Holland, and Patrick
Geoghegan to name but a few. All of these fantastic events are free and I am sure
that Dubliners and visitors alike will find lots to interest them in the programme.
LIST OF EVENTS
With events taking place in Dublin Castle and in the city’s libraries, the Dublin
Festival of History offers a unique opportunity for all to listen, participate and engage
in historical debate right in the heart of the city. I invite you to come along and enjoy!
Oisín Quinn

BRITAIN & IRELAND: A SHARED HERITAGE
Roy Hattersley in conversation with Dr John Bowman
In spite of ancient enmities and recent conflict, Anglo-Irish relations have
never been better than they are now in the early decades of the twenty-first
century. Roy Hattersley served as a deputy leader of the British Labour Party,
government minister and shadow minister in a long political career that lasted
almost three decades. He has written many books, mainly history and biography,
notably David Lloyd George: The Great Outsider. No UK politician is better
placed to assess the shared heritage between Britain and Ireland than Roy
Hattersley. He will be discussing the topic with broadcaster and historian, John
Bowman.
Thursday September 26th at 8.00pm in Dublin Castle, Printworks venue.

THE GREAT FAMINE: ‘THE VISITATION OF GOD?’
History Ireland Hedge School with Kevin Whelan, Meredith Meagher,
William Smyth & Tim Pat Coogan. Chaired by History Ireland editor
Tommy Graham
What were the factors that led to the Great Famine of the 1840s? Was
catastrophe inevitable? According to Young Irelander John Mitchel, God may
have sent the potato blight, but the English created the famine. How does that
assertion stand up to recent scholarship? What could have been done, and what
was done, to alleviate distress? To what extent were the Irish victims of economic
(laissez-faire capitalism) and religious (providentialism) dogmas? These are the
key questions which the History Ireland panel will address.
Friday September 27th at 6.00pm in Dublin Castle, Printworks venue.

BIRTH OF A NATION
Ronan Fanning & Charles Townshend in conversation
with John Borgonovo
Ronan Fanning’s Fatal Path; British Government and Irish Revolution, 1910-1922
is a magisterial narrative of the most turbulent decade in Anglo-Irish history.
It was a time when violence and the threat of violence trumped democratic
politics and, argues Fanning, it worked, however much this view offends our
contemporary moral sensibilities. Charles Townshend’s The Republic; The Fight
for Irish Independence, 1918-1923 dovetails perfectly with Fanning’s book, taking
us from the War of Independence through the Civil War and shows how the
betrayals and grim compromises put the new nation into a state of trauma for at
least a generation. Thus was the new republic born.
John Borgonovo is a history lecturer in University College Cork.
Friday, September 27th at 8.00pm in Dublin Castle, Printworks venue.

WRITING HISTORICAL FICTION
Workshop with novelist and creative writing teacher Katharine McMahon
Bestselling author Katharine McMahon is an engaging and inspirational speaker
and teacher. Her eight novels include Season of Light, The Rose of Sebastopol
(Richard and Judy Book Club choice), The Alchemist’s Daughter, and The
Crimson Rooms. The paperback edition of Season of Light, set during the
French Revolution, was published in 2012. Katharine has appeared at festivals
across the UK and on ‘Woman’s Hour’ for BBC Radio 4. She has written and
delivered the Guardian Masterclass on Historical Fiction.
This two and a half hour workshop will delve into source material to find the
historical spark and create story around historical events and characters.
Katharine will show how research is woven into a novel and how historical detail
inspires and directs the writing. Students will build a narrative and discover how
the richness of the past can become a springboard for modern fiction.
Saturday September 28th at 10.15am in Dublin City Library and Archive,
138-144 Pearse Street.
Course fee – €25. Please book a place at the workshop at:

IN THE SHADOW OF THE SWORD: THE BATTLE FOR
GLOBAL EMPIRE AND THE END OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
Tom Holland in conversation with Michael Ryan
In the Shadow of the Sword explores how a succession of great empires came
to identify themselves with a new and revolutionary understanding of the divine.
It is a story vivid with drama, horror and startling achievement, and features
many of the most remarkable rulers ever seen. The book is also a dazzlingly
colourful journey into the world of late antiquity and every bit as thrilling a
narrative history as Holland’s previous works which include the prize-winning
Rubicon; the triumph and tragedy of the Roman Republic. Tom Holland has the
rare gift of making deep scholarship accessible and exciting.
Michael Ryan is a former Director of the Chester Beatty Library.
Saturday, September 28th at 11.00am in Dublin Castle, Printworks venue.

THE DUBLIN LECTURE
DANIEL O’CONNELL: THE LIBERATOR
Patrick M. Geoghegan
Following the winning of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, Daniel O’Connell was
recognised as one of the leading figures on the world stage. He was hailed
as ‘the defender of Ireland’, the man who had ‘incarnated in himself a people’.
Identified as the champion of the weak and the oppressed, he became famous
internationally for his opposition to slavery in all its forms. O’Connell was the
first democratically elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1841. Patrick Geoghegan
will discuss the dramatic final years of O’Connell’s life and career, charting his
remarkable rise and fall in the 1830s and his political resurrection in the 1840s
when he rolled back the years to lead a new national movement, and confirmed
his reputation as the man who Gladstone believed was the ‘Moses of Ireland’.
Saturday September 28th at 1.00pm in Dublin Castle, Printworks venue.

THE BOMBING WAR: EUROPE 1939-1945
Richard Overy in conversation with Robert Gerwarth
The Bombing War is a major new book on one of the most controversial military
issue of World War Two by one of Britain’s greatest historians, Richard Overy.
It is the first book to examine seriously not just the most well-known parts of
the campaign, but the significance of bombing on many other fronts – the
German use of bombers on the Eastern Front for example (as well as much
newly discovered material on the more familiar ‘Blitz’ on Britain), or the Allied
campaigns against Italian cities. The result is a rich, gripping picture of the
Second World War and the terrible military, technological and ethical issues at
play in the conflict.
Robert Gerwarth is Professor of Modern History and Director of the Centre for
War Studies at University College Dublin.

TRUTH, LIES AND HISTORICAL FICTION
With Robert Goddard, Katharine McMahon & Tim Severin
& moderator Sean Rocks
Cynics characterise historical fiction as flawed and unreliable history which is
to misunderstand its essential nature. History tells us what people do; historical
fiction helps us imagine how they felt. And yet, historical novelists differ hugely
in their modes of telling stories. Is fidelity to established historical facts strictly to
be observed? How much licence may an author use when dealing with historical
figures and periods? Is invention more important than research or vice versa?
Historical fiction is currently enjoying a period of massive popularity and here is a
marvellous opportunity to hear three leading practitioners discuss their personal
approaches to the genre.

THE STORY OF THE JEWS
Simon Schama in conversation with Myles Dungan
Simon Schama’s new book, The Story of the Jews, is a story like no other:
an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy
amidst grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds. It takes you
to unimagined places. And a great story unfolds. Not, as often imagined, of a
culture apart, but of a Jewish world imprinted by many diverse peoples; from
Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Arabs to the Christians. Which makes the
story of the Jews everyone’s story. Simon Schama ranks among the world’s
most popular communicators on matters historical and we’re delighted to offer
this opportunity to hear him discuss his new book with Myles Dungan.

THE DOWNFALL OF MONEY
Frederick Taylor in conversation with David Murphy
The early years of the Weimar Republic in Germany witnessed the most
complete and terrifying unravelling of a major country’s financial system to have
occurred in modern times. The story of the financial crisis has a clear resonance
now, when the world is anxious once more about what money is, what it means
and how we can judge if its value is true.
Taylor’s new book, The Downfall of Money; Germany’s hyperinflation and the
destruction of the Middle Class reveals the real causes of the crisis, what this
collapse meant to ordinary people, and also traces its connection to Germany’s
subsequent catastrophic political history, to provide a timely, fresh and surprising
look at this chilling period in history.

UNOFFICIAL HISTORIES
With Donal Fallon, Mark Little, Jane Ohlmeyer & moderator Joe Duffy
History is written, it is said, by the victors or by those official and elite historians
of the winning side. But there are many other versions of the past. In Unofficial
Histories the panel will discuss how society produces, presents, and consumes
history and explore the interactions between competing and corresponding
impulses in history-making: the scholarly and the political; the academic and the
everyday; the traditional media and the new social media which can beam news
across continents in an instant. Donal Fallon writes primarily on the social history
of the Irish capital and runs Come Here To Me, a group blog that focuses on
the life and culture of Dublin city. Mark Little runs Storyful, the first news agency
of the social media age filtering breaking news amid the noise of the internet.
Professor Jane Ohlmeyer is Erasmus Smith’s Professor of Modern History at
Trinity College Dublin.
Joe Duffy is the presenter of Liveline on RTÉ Radio 1.

DUEL PERSONALITIES
James Larkin, William Martin Murphy and the 1913 Lockout.
With Historian Padraig Yeates & Actors Bryan Murray, Barry McGovern
The 1913 Lockout convulsed the city of Dublin for several months and was by
any reckoning the most significant industrial dispute in Irish history. But the
clash was not only between 20,000 workers and 300 employers, it was also a
battle between two extraordinary men, William Martin Murphy for the employers
and James Larkin for the ITGWU. For Murphy, James Larkin was a dangerous
revolutionary hell-bent on destroying his business. For Larkin, Murphy was
a class enemy determined to prevent the unionisation of the workforce, thus
perpetuating the grinding poverty of the Dublin slums. The antagonism between
these men is captured in some of the memorable speeches they gave in 1913
and this event will dramatise them with a leading Lockout historian and two of
Ireland’s best-known actors.

THE CONCUBINE WHO LAUNCHED MODERN CHINA
Jung Chang in conversation with Caitríona Crowe
Empress Dowager Cixi; The Concubine Who Launched Modern China is Wild
Swans author Jung Chang‘s first book in eight years, and tells the extraordinary
story of a concubine who rose through the ranks by producing an heir and on
the death of Xianfeng in 1861, installed herself as sole regent for her son. She
went on to rule China for 47 years. Under her stewardship the ancient country
attained all the attributes of a modern state: industries, railways, electricity,
telegraph, and an army and navy with up-to-date weaponry. It was she who
abolished gruesome punishments like ‘death by a thousand cuts’ and put an
end to foot-binding. She inaugurated women’s liberation, and embarked on the
path to introduce parliamentary elections to China. Jung Chang comprehensively
overturns the conventional view of Cixi as a die-hard conservative and cruel
despot.
Caitríona Crowe is head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland.
