Greetings from Malpas Street and welcome to our 2016 catalogue.
In it we feature some 40 new titles to be published this year, with subjects ranging from Richard II’s adventures in Ireland,
death and burial in Dublin from 1500 onwards, to Joe Brady’s study of house-building in Dublin 1950–70. Appropriately,
in this centenary year, we plan to re-issue Liam de Paor’s classic study of the 1916 Easter Proclamation, as well as publish
a close study of Monaghan in the Revolutionary period and an examination of the theatre of Patrick Pearse. The
catalogue also includes shorter notices of recently published books, along with some titles from our backlist.
2015 was a particularly exciting year for the Press during which we published 40 new titles; one highlight was John
Hume: Irish peacemaker (see page 23), a collection of essays on the political career of the Irish Nobel prize-winner with
a stellar cast of contributors including President Bill Clinton; following Pat Hume’s inspiring interview on Miriam
O’Callaghan’s radio show and numerous positive reviews we have now reprinted several times. With the latest reprint
just arrived in our warehouses we are looking forward to further launches in London and Boston.
The top of the contents page shows two linocuts of Jenkins, the family cat, taken from Nicola Gordon Bowe’s Wilhelmina
Geddes: life and work (page 27), a Times Higher Education Supplement book of the week and a pick of the year in the
Sunday Times, the Irish Independent and the Times Literary Supplement. Onwards!

MEDIEVAL STUDIES
Richard II and the Irish kings
John Bradley & Cóilín Ó Drisceoil, editors
Darren McGettigan
William Marshal (c.1146–1219), earl of
Pembroke and lord of Leinster, has been
described as ‘the flower of chivalry’ and
‘the greatest knight that ever lived’. From
1207 to 1213 Kilkenny was at the centre of
his extensive Leinster lordship. From there
he and his wife Isabel de Clare embarked
on a massive campaign of town
development and administrative
re-organization that transformed the
south-east of Ireland. It was to have a
long-term impact because in the process he
formalized the counties of Carlow, Kildare,
Kilkenny and Wexford, and established the
county towns of Carlow, Kilkenny and
Wexford. This publication brings together
leading historians and archaeologists to
examine his life and legacy for the first time
in an Irish context, and presents the
proceedings of a conference held in
Kilkenny to mark the 800th anniversary of
William Marshal’s charter to the town.
The late medieval kings of England showed
little interest in their Lordship of Ireland.
They showed even less interest in the Gaelic
Irish population of the island. Richard II,
however, was different. This English
monarch led two expeditions to Ireland in
1394–5 and the summer of 1399. Once
across the Irish Sea it was Richard’s fate to
encounter a group of able Gaelic Irish
kings, who were probably the most capable
and talented of the entire late medieval
period. Of these chieftains the most
prominent were Art MacMurchadha
Caomhánach, king of the Leinster
mountains, and Niall Mór and Niall Óg Ó
Néill, kings of Tyrone and high-kings of
Ulster. Richard II ended up largely
out-negotiated after his first expedition to
the island, and unexpectedly outfought
during his second. When he returned to his
English kingdom Richard was immediately
deposed and later murdered by his cousin,
Henry, duke of Hereford, who became King
Henry IV. This book is the story of these
remarkable encounters between a late
medieval English monarch and his reluctant
Gaelic Irish vassals at the close of the 14th
century.

Soldiers of Christ: the Knights
Hospitaller and the Knights
Templar in medieval Ireland
Martin Browne OSB & Colmán Ó
Clabaigh OSB, editors
The Military and Hospitaller Orders
emerged in the 12th century as
Christendom engaged with the threats
and the opportunities offered by its
Muslim and non-Christian neighbours. In
an Irish context, the Knights Hospitaller
and the Knights Templar were the most
significant expressions of this unusual
vocation that sought to combine military
service with monastic observance.
Arriving with the first Anglo-Norman
settlers, the orders were granted vast
landholdings and numerous privileges in
Ireland to support their activities in
Palestine and the Middle East. From the
outset, the knights were closely
associated with the administration of the
Anglo-Irish colony, with the superior of
the Hospitallers, the Prior of Kilmainham,
consistently playing a key role in crown
affairs. This volume, the proceedings of
the Third Glenstal History Conference,
explores the history of the Military and
Hospitaller Orders in Ireland from their
arrival in the late 12th century to their
dissolution and attempted revival in the
mid-16th century. Other contributions
explore the orders’ agricultural, artistic,
economic, pastoral and religious activities
as well as examining the archaeology of
many of their sites.

Life and death in medieval
Gaelic Ireland: the skeletons
from Ballyhanna, Co. Donegal
Recently published
Catriona McKenzie & Eileen Murphy
In 2003, the skeletal remains of some
1,300 individuals – men, women and
children – were uncovered from Ballyhanna,
near Ballyshannon in Co. Donegal.
Radiocarbon dating indicates that the
cemetery was in use for a prolonged period
of time from the 7th to the 17th century.
The remains of all individuals were subject
to a detailed osteological and
palaeopathological analysis. This book
contextualizes the results of the research,
revealing a wealth of information
concerning health, diet and lifestyle of the
people buried at Ballyhanna. The analysis
represents the first comprehensive study of
a skeletal population from medieval Gaelic
Ireland and provides detailed insights
concerning the hitherto largely invisible
lower class of Gaelic society.
Catriona McKenzie is a lecturer in the
Department of Archaeology, U Exeter.
Eileen Murphy is a senior lecturer in
archaeology in the School of Geography,
Archaeology and Palaeoecology, QUB.

CELTIC & MEDIEVAL STUDIES
Recently published
Jan Erik Rekdal & Charles Doherty, editors
This book explores the representation of the
warrior in relation to the king in early
north-west Europe. These essays, by
scholars from the areas of Norse, Celtic
and Anglo-Saxon studies, examine how
medieval writers highlighted the role of the
warrior in relation to kings, or to authority,
and to society as a whole. The warrior who
fought for his people was also a danger to
them. How was such a destructive force to
be controlled? The Christian church sought
to challenge the ethos of the pagan tribal
warrior and to reduce the barbarism of
warfare (at least its worst excesses). We
can follow this struggle in the medieval
literature produced in the areas under
study.

Medieval Dublin XV: proceedings
of the Friends of Medieval Dublin
Symposium 2013
Seán Duffy, editor
This volume contains reports on a number
of important archaeological excavations in
the Dublin area in recent years, including:
Claire Walsh’s discovery of the remains of
Hiberno-Norse and Anglo-Norman houses
at Back Lane; Paul Duffy’s excavations at
Baldoyle that produced evidence from the
Viking Age onwards; and Edmond
O’Donovan’s discovery of a large early
Christian cemetery at Mount Gamble in
Swords. To accompany his detailed report
on the latter the volume includes an
important study of the ecclesiastical and
political history of the Swords area written
by the late Ailbhe MacShamhráin. Also of
note: Craig Lyons analyses the emergence
of Dublin in the late 10th and early 11th
century as a more distinctively Irish
sub-kingdom; Catherine Swift sheds new
light on the famous account of Brian Boru
and the battle of Clontarf called Cogadh
Gáedhel re Gallaibh; Daniel Brown has a
fascinating account of what happened in
1223 when Hugh de Lacy, the dispossessed
earl of Ulster, raised a rebel army and
marched on Dublin; Bernard Meehan
describes the recent acquisition by the
Trinity College Library of a hithertounknown manuscript compiled in St Mary’s
Abbey in the city in the early 14th century;
Brian Coleman presents the first fruits of
his meticulous study of the elite of Dublin
city and county in the later Middle Ages;
Dianne Hall examines everyday violence in
the medieval city and environs; and, to
mark the 700th anniversary of the Scottish
invasion of Ireland by Edward Bruce in
1315, we include an unpublished essay by
the late Professor James Lydon on the
Scottish threat to capture Dublin.
Medieval Dublin XVI
Proceedings of Clontarf 1014–2014:
national conference marking the
millennium of the Battle of Clontarf,
11–12 April 2014
Seán Duffy, editor
This volume contains the proceedings of a
conference held in Trinity College Dublin in
April 2014 marking the millennium of the
Battle of Clontarf, one of the landmark
events in Irish history. Organized by the
editor in partnership with Dublin City
Council, the conference heard from leading
experts in the fields of Irish history,
Scandinavian history, Celtic studies and
archaeology, speakers being drawn from
universities throughout Ireland, Great
Britain and further afield, as well as
specialists from the National Museum and
elsewhere. The essays seek to establish the
truth of what really happened at the Battle
of Clontarf for a 21st-century audience and
re-evaluate the role of Brian Boru in the
light of the latest research – topics that are
discussed in papers by Edel Bhreatnach,
Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Seán Duffy, Denis
Casey, Clare Downham, Eoin O’Flynn and
Andrew Halpin. Other contributors such as
Donnchadh Ó Corráin, Colmán
Etchingham, Catherine Swift and Bart Jaski
discuss their recent investigations into the
rise of Brian’s dynasty of Dál Cais, the
subject of the high-kingship of Ireland and
the role of the Vikings in medieval Ireland.
The legacy of Brian and of Clontarf is
explored by Marie Therese Flanagan, Paul
MacCotter, Meidhbhín Ní Úrdail and Alex
Woolf.

of the Insular world of Britain and Ireland,
the papers also consider the contemporary
European and Mediterranean background
and context of Insular art, under the
headings of motif, theme, symbol,
transmission, translation and scholarship.
Offering new perspectives on familiar
objects and introducing new finds, like the
other volumes in the series, this lavishly
illustrated book is a must for all serious
students of Insular art.

The philosopher king and the Pictish
nation
Julianna Grigg
This book examines a crucial stage in the
emergence of Pictland as a cohesive nation under
dynastic kingship. It draws on Irish and
Anglo-Saxon comparanda and archaeological
evidence to offer a new perspective on the way in
which power was articulated to forge national
identity. Central to this narrative was a dynasty
of Pictish kings whose political careers shaped
the destiny of their kingdom, none more so than
the philosopher king Necthon, son of Derilei,
whose expansionary tactics and diplomacy
married political action with the formative
influence of Christianity.

The art, literature and material

Meg Boulton, Jane Hawkes & Melissa

The medieval was long viewed as an
unenlightened counterpoint to the ‘Classical’ and
the ‘Renaissance’, being perceived as static
compared to their pivotal dynamism. Here, the
wider debate about cultural crossroads in the
medieval period is readdressed, to ask what the
medieval was, is and might be.

The materiality of devotion in
late medieval northern Europe:
images, objects, practices
Henning Laugerud, Salvador Ryan &
Laura Katrine Skinnebach, editors
This volume explores aspects of the
devotional world of late medieval northern
Europe, with a special emphasis on how
people interacted with texts, images,
artefacts and other instruments of piety at
the level of the senses. It focuses on the
materiality of medieval religion and the
manner in which Christians were
encouraged to engage their senses in their
devotional practices: gazing, hearing,
touching, tasting and committing to
memory.

The Geraldines and medieval
Ireland: the making of a myth
The Templars, the witch and the wild
Irish: vengeance and heresy in
medieval Ireland
Peter Crooks & Seán Duffy, editors
Maeve Brigid Callan
From the earliest moments of their
involvement in Ireland, the Geraldines (or
FitzGeralds) – the greatest of the
Anglo-Norman dynasties established in
Ireland after 1169 – became shrouded in
myths, often of their own creation. This
book, the proceedings of the inaugural
Trinity Medieval Ireland Symposium,
examines the ‘myth of the Geraldines’ in
two senses: the literary and historical
evidence from the Middle Ages and its
reception from the 16th century onwards;
and the myths and misconceptions that
have encrusted around aspects of
Geraldine history in historical scholarship.

The Tudor discovery of Ireland
Christopher Maginn & Steven G. Ellis
‘Ireland was a problem for the Tudor monarchs. It
was also, as Christopher Maginn and Steven Ellis
demonstrate, something of a mystery. Both Henry
VII and Henry VIII had to attempt to rule in
Ireland when almost nobody in their government
had ever set foot there […] At the heart of this
book is an important manuscript called the
Hatfield Compendium [… The] first two Tudor
kings, in attempting to govern Ireland, went
through a complicated series of initiatives,
reversals, renewed ambitions for reform and
distractions from elsewhere. The central theme of
this book is how all this was further encumbered
by the lack of reliable information about Ireland.
Time after time, painfully accrued experience was
forgotten when advisers retired or died, until
Thomas Cromwell, with his usual efficiency,
seems to have realized just how much was being
lost. The Hatfield Compendium was not just a
depository of useful information, but in itself a
testimony to the growing sense of urgency about
the problems posed by Ireland and the regime’s
anxious and often haphazard attempts to acquire
proper data’, Lucy Wooding, Times Higher

Grave matters: death and dying
in Dublin, 1500 to the present
Irish demesne landscapes,
1660–1740
Lisa Marie Griffith & Ciarán Wallace,
editors
Vandra Costello
Grave Matters examines the universal
subject of death – looking at the particular
experience of death, burial and
commemoration in Dublin. Using death as
a way of understanding social conditions,
essays consider the role of the public
funeral in establishing political hierarchies,
the fate of the city’s poor during the era of
the penal laws and the survival of the
death penalty to 1990. The meanings of
humble headstones, elaborate memorials
and post-mortem photography are also
examined.

‘In this most impressive volume, Vandra
Costello tells the story of [demesne]
landscapes, drawing on a remarkable
variety of manuscript sources, often
obscure gardening manuals and the full
range of recent scholarship […] This
handsome volume is definitive in its period,
and underpins the recent broadening of
interest in Irish improvement in the 17th
and 18th centuries’,
Nigel Everett, Irish Arts Review.
This book charts the history and
development of formal gardening in
Ireland in the late 17th and early 18th
centuries, and in particular the grand
geometric style garden that was
fashionable between 1660 and 1740. It
examines the people who created these
gardens, the influences that affected them,
the materials that they employed and the
uses of landscape interventions. Using a
wide range of sources, including several
previously unpublished, this is the most
extensive survey of early Irish gardens to
date.
‘[Covers] a period whose rich social and
economic history tends to be overlooked
because of the emphasis on the aftermath
of Oliver Cromwell’s campaign in Ireland
[... An] entertaining read and a valuable
record’, Joe Barry, Irish Independent.

Episcopal visitations of the
diocese of Meath, 1622–1799
Michael O’Neill, editor
The visitation records of the Church of
Ireland were largely destroyed in the fire in
the Public Record Office of Ireland in 1922,
thus greatly enhancing the significance of
those which have survived in copy form.
This volume provides editions of the
visitations of the diocese of Meath for the
years 1622, 1693, 1733 and 1799 which
offer unique insights into the life of the
Church of Ireland, and its interaction with
the wider community, from the postReformation period to the eve of the Act of
Union. These records reveal much about
both the spiritual and temporal life of the
Church in a large Irish diocese and provide
a framework for more detailed study of
localities based on the records of individual
parishes.
Michael O’Neill is an independent
architectural historian who has published
on aspects of Irish church architecture from
the medieval to the modern.

The architectural, landscape and
constitutional plans of the earl
of Mar, 1700–32
Margaret Stewart
Politics, architecture, landscapes, city
designs and infrastructure planning were
the substance of the earl of Mar’s creative
thinking before and after the Anglo-Scottish
Union of 1707. Condemned as a traitor
after he led and lost the Jacobite Rising of
1715, Mar devoted his time in exile to
creating a new constitution for the United
Kingdom in which England, Ireland and
Scotland would become equal partners in a
federation with France for the enduring
peace of Europe. Richly illustrated with
Mar’s magnificent designs for cities,
palaces and houses, this is the first book
about this controversial figure.
Margaret Stewart was born and
educated in Edinburgh. She is an art
historian and curator, and is currently a
lecturer in architectural history at U
Edinburgh.

The Dublin Civic Portrait
Collection: patronage, politics
and patriotism, 1603–2013
Mary Clark
Beginning in the early 17th century and
continuing to the present day, the city of
Dublin has built up a portrait collection
that is unique on the island of Ireland in
terms of range and diversity, and is
brilliantly expressive of the political
aspirations and realities that have informed
its creation. The collection contains sixty-six
works in oil-on-canvas and eight statues in
bronze and marble. These can be placed in
three principal categories: royal
personages; lord lieutenants of Ireland;
and lord mayors and aldermen of Dublin. It
includes works by Irish artists Thomas
Hickey, Hugh Douglas Hamilton, Martin
Cregan, Stephen Catterson Smith, Dermod
O’Brien, Robert Ballagh and Carey Clarke
and by leading English portraitists
including Sir Joshua Reynolds, George
Romney, Sir William Beechey and Sir
Thomas Lawrence. This book contains a
catalogue of the entire collection with an
introduction placing it within the broader
context of civic imagery and regalia, giving
due regard to ceremony, heraldry, dress
and accoutrements of office. The Dublin
collection is placed within its historical
context to show how developments in
Dublin and in Ireland as a whole influenced
its formation. This lavishly illustrated book
illuminates the complex relationship
between politics, pageantry, art and history
in the Irish capital over a sustained period
of 400 years.
Mary Clark is the Dublin City Archivist
and curator of the Dublin Civic Portrait
Collection.
The history and heritage of
St James’s Hospital, Dublin
Davis Coakley & Mary Coakley
The history of St James’s Hospital stretches
back to 1703 when an act was passed to
build a workhouse on its site. Just under
thirty years later a foundling hospital was
added to the workhouse. The opening
chapters discuss this period and the pitiful
treatment of abandoned children. When
the Foundling Hospital was closed in 1829
the buildings were used to house the South
Dublin Union Workhouse. The workhouse
played a crucial role during the Great
Famine, giving shelter to thousands of
starving people. The buildings of the
workhouse were commandeered by the 4th
Battalion of the Irish Volunteers during
Easter Week 1916. After Independence the
South Dublin Union was renamed St Kevin’s
Hospital and became a municipal hospital
for the poor of the city. In 1971 three of the
oldest voluntary hospitals in Dublin,
Mercer’s, Sir Patrick Dun’s, and Baggot
Street hospitals, amalgamated with St
Kevin’s to form St James’s Hospital. Over a
very short period of time St James’s
Hospital became the largest teaching
hospital in Ireland. This book describes the
history of these developments and their
impact on the city of Dublin.

19TH-CENTURY STUDIES
The Catholic Church and the
campaign for emancipation in
Ireland and England
Ambrose Macauley
Catholics in Ireland and England
campaigning for relief from the penal laws
and, later, for emancipation were obliged to
deal not only with the governments in
Dublin and London but also with the Holy
See. In return for concessions they were
required to provide ‘securities’ in the form
of oaths, which included allegiance to King
George III and his successors and a
rejection of the alleged ‘claims’ of the
papacy which could be used to the
detriment of the lawful authority of the
British crown. The crown sought the right to
veto candidates for the episcopate whom it
deemed unsuitable. Both the Holy See and
the bishops found some of the elements of
these oaths unacceptable. In Ireland and in
England differences of opinion emerged
between the loyal and conservative
aristocrats and gentry, who were keen to
take their seats in parliament, and the
middle-class activists who rejected the veto.
This book examines these issues and the
complex relationships between the Holy
See, the bishops and the Catholic
committees.
Ambrose Macaulay is a priest of the
diocese of Down and Connor. His
publications include The Holy See, British
policy and the plan of campaign in Ireland,
1885–93 (2002) and Patrick McAlister,
bishop of Down and Connor, 1886–95
(2006).

Dublin City Council and the 1916
Rising
John Gibney, editor
The Easter Rising had a direct impact on
Dublin City Council. It mostly took place in
the capital city that the council
administered, while some sites of the
fighting, such as City Hall itself, belonged
to the council. Some employees of the
council fought in the Rising, while others
were tasked with trying to deal with its
aftermath. This collection of essays is the
first detailed study to examine the impact
of Dublin City Council on the 1916 Rising
and in turn its effects on the council. It
includes an analysis of the political
background in the elected council which
although it included members from Labour
and Sinn Féin, also contained members
from the Irish Party and unionists.
A number of elected members of Dublin
City Council fought in 1916, such as
Councillor Richard O’Carroll who was with
the Irish Volunteers at an outpost of
Jacob’s Factory. He was shot by the
infamous Captain J.C. Bowen-Colthurst.
Two of the men executed after the Rising –
Éamonn Ceannt and John MacBride – were
council employees. Ceannt was also
Edmund T. Kent, a valued employee in the
Rates Department, while Major MacBride
was the city’s Water-Bailiff. The
Corporation’s premier building, City Hall,
was garrisoned on Easter Monday by the
Irish Citizen Army under Captain Sean
Connolly, who in civilian life was an official
in the Motor Registration Department,
while his brother Joseph, a member of
Dublin Fire Brigade, fought with Michael
Mallin and Countess Markiewicz at the
College of Surgeons, and staff of Dublin
Public Libraries had an active role in
communications during the Rising. Included
in the volume is a full list of council
employees involved in the Easter Rising.

Richmond Barracks 1916: ‘We
were there’ – 77 women of the
Easter Rising
The Mansion House, Dublin:
300 years of history and
hospitality
Mary McAuliffe and Liz Gillis
Mary Clark, editor
Women played a pivotal and vital role in
the Irish Revolutionary movement in the
years 1913–23, including the Easter Rising.
Women of the Irish Citizen Army, Cumann
na mBan, the Clan na nGaedheal Girl
Scouts and individual women fought side by
side with their male counterparts in most of
the Rising outposts in Dublin, Enniscorthy
and Galway during Easter Week 1916.
After the surrender, 77 of these women
were arrested along with their male
colleagues, and marched to Richmond
Barracks. This book contains biographies of
the 77 women, detailing their garrison and
contribution during Easter Week. Many of
them came, not from Dublin, but from
various places around the country, and they
were also disparate in terms of their class,
background, education and motivation.
The book also includes contextual essays on
the socio-political climate in Ireland 100
years ago and in the aftermath of the
fighting. This new research and analysis of
the women of the 1916 Rising is a welcome
addition to the historiography of the period
and gives voice to the forgotten Easter
Rising women.
Dublin’s Mansion House is the only
mayoral residence in Ireland and is older
than any surviving in Great Britain.
Originally the town house of merchant and
property developer Joshua Dawson, it was
purchased by the Dublin City Assembly in
April 1715 and since then has been the
home of each lord mayor during their term
of office. This is the first major work on the
Mansion House and includes essays on its
history, architecture and antique
furnishings.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL / DUBLIN ENGINEERING HISTORY SERIES
Michael English
The three castles of Dublin have been the
symbol of the city since 1230 when they
first appeared on a city seal as three
watchtowers over one of the city’s fortified
main gates. Over time, the towers assumed
greater significance as a symbol and by the
mid-16th century they had been divided
and separated into three distinct castles. In
1607, Daniel Molyneux, the Ulster King-atArms, devised the first heraldic achievement
for Dublin, with three castles on a shield,
surrounded with supporters and other
elements synonymous with the city. Since
then, both the council and the citizens have
engaged with the symbol and every
Dubliner is familiar with the city’s coat of
arms as it appears on buildings, flags,
plaques, streetlights and water hydrants to
name but a few examples. This book covers
the history of the city with chronological
examples of the three castles photographed.
Michael English worked for several years
in Dublin in advertising and design
agencies before setting up his own
company, Black Mountain Design.

The Ha’penny Bridge, Dublin:
spanning the Liffey for 200 years
Michael English
Dublin’s Ha’penny Bridge is one of the
symbols of the city. Opened on 19 May
1816, the first dedicated footbridge over
the river Liffey, it was also the first iron
bridge in Ireland. The bridge was officially
named after the first duke of Wellington,
the Dublin-born victor of the Battle of
Waterloo. It quickly acquired the nickname
by which it is still known because it
replaced a Liffey ferry which charged
passengers a half-penny – and this amount
was now charged to pedestrians as a toll to
cross the bridge. The Ha’penny Bridge has
had its share of controversy. In 1913
proposals were made to replace it with an
art gallery designed by the famous
architect Sir Edwin Lutyens at the request
of Sir Hugh Lane. The gallery would span
the river similar to the Vasari Corridor in
Florence. In the event, Dublin Corporation
did not have enough funds for the project,
so it was turned down. The Ha’penny
Bridge was triumphantly restored in 2001.
The rivers Dodder and Poddle:
mills, storms, droughts and the
public water supply
Michael Corcoran & Don McEntee
This book concentrates on the engineering
history and topography of the river Dodder,
while not neglecting other relevant issues of
the river and the Bohernabreena
Reservoirs. The Dodder’s role in supplying
water to Rathmines and Rathgar and the
later integration of this system with the
wider Dublin public water network is also
explained. The Bohernabreena Reservoirs,
more properly known as the Glenasmole
Reservoirs, and their role in water supply,
millers’ compensation rights and flood
control, are a central feature of this book.
The Poddle – which in essence is a tributary
of the Dodder – is also explored. This river,
now mostly underground, is famous for the
Dubh Linn, the peaty pool which formed at
its confluence with the Liffey.
Exercise of authority: surveyor
Thomas Owen and the paving,
cleansing and lighting of
Georgian Dublin
Finnian Ó Cionnaith
From the 1770s to the mid-19th century the
commissioners for paving the streets of
Dublin, commonly known as the Paving
Board, were responsible for the paving,
lighting and cleansing of the capital.
Granted sweeping powers by the Irish
parliament, this organization tackled
problems still familiar to modern Dubliners
such as traffic congestion, street paving,
road works, waste removal, public lighting
and anti-social behaviour. The
Commissioners attempted to stamp
Georgian conformity and order on a city
trying to shake its medieval image and
move into the modern world. Prior to its
foundation, the maintenance of Dublin’s
streets was a haphazard affair with the
city’s patchwork of diverse and divergent
parishes bearing responsibility for services
within their borders. The Paving Board took
this misbalanced system and placed the
city under one hierarchical organisation
capable, in theory, of helping the rapidly
growing city cope with the changes it
encountered. The legacy of the Paving
Board can still be seen today in the setts
and granite curbstones which can be found
in Dublin’s historic core and yet this book is
the first history of this important body,
looking at the first formative fifteen years
of the Board from the viewpoint of one of
its most important officers, surveyor
Thomas Owen.
Finnian Ó Cionnaith is a practising land
surveyor and is the author of Mapping,
measurement and metropolis: how land
surveyors shaped eighteenth-century Dublin
(Dublin, 2012).

19TH- & 20TH-CENTURY STUDIES
19th- & 20th-Century Studies
The Irish Volunteers, 1913–19:
a history
Daithí Ó Corráin
No organization was more central to the
history of Ireland in the 20th century than
the Irish Volunteers. This is the first
authoritative history of that body from its
inception in November 1913 to its
rebranding as the IRA in 1919.
Against a backdrop of seemingly imminent
Home Rule, the example and form of the
Ulster Volunteer Force inspired a nationalist
equivalent in Dublin. This book traces the
daunting challenges that confronted the
Irish Volunteers from lack of resources and
expertise to the efforts of the Irish
Parliamentary Party to seize control in June
1914. Without the First World War, the
1916 Rising would have been
inconceivable. John Redmond’s
endorsement of the war effort fractured the
Volunteers and led to the establishment of
rival National and Irish Volunteer forces.
The waning fortunes of the National
Volunteers are surveyed. Energized by the
threat of wartime conscription, the Irish
Volunteers survived, while a secret IRB
coterie planned an insurrection. This was
militarily doomed when the plans
unravelled but those who took part fought
tenaciously. As Irish public opinion was
transformed in the aftermath of the Rising,
the Irish Volunteers re-emerged on a better
organized military footing. This book
assesses the relationship between them
and the revamped Sinn Féin party in the
lead up to the 1918 general election and
the increasingly violent action that resulted
in the War of Independence.

The Royal Irish Constabulary: a
short history and genealogical
guide with a select list of medal
awards and casualties
Jim Herlihy
This new, revised and expanded edition
brings back into print an excellent resource
for those interested in the history of the RIC
and the revolutionary period generally. In
the period 1816 to 1922 some 85,000 men
served in the RIC and its predecessor
forces. Information on all these policemen
is available, constituting a quarry for their
descendants in Ireland, the US and
elsewhere. The book consists of chapters on
the history of policing in Ireland, followed
by a section on ‘Tracing your ancestors in
the RIC’. New appendices to this edition
identify members of the RIC who were
rewarded for service during the Young
Ireland Rising, 1848, the Fenian Rising,
1867, the Easter Rising 1916 and the War
of Independence, 1919–21. Also members
of the RIC who volunteered for service in
the Mounted Staff Corps and the
Commissariat during the Crimean War,
served as drivers and orderlies on
secondment to the Irish Hospital in the
South African War in 1900 and served in
the British Army in the First World War are
identified. RIC recipients of the King George
V, Coronation (Police) Medal, 1911, the
Constabulary Medal, the Kings Police
Medal are listed, as are ex-RIC men who
transferred to the Royal Ulster
Constabulary in 1922 and received
additional bravery medals.
‘[C]ombines a short history of policing in

Violence, politics and
Catholicism in Ireland
Oliver P. Rafferty SJ
This collection of essays looks at the
interrelated themes of Catholicism, violence
and politics in the Irish context in the 19th
and 20th centuries. Although much effort
was expended by institutional Catholicism
in trying to curb the violent propensities of
the Fenians in the 19th century and the IRA
in the 20th, its efforts were largely
unsuccessful. Ironically, Catholicism had
greater achievements to boast of in its
influence in the British Empire as a whole
than over its wayward flock in Ireland. But
there was a cost in the church’s
commitment to British imperial expansion
that did not always sit easily with growing
nationalist expectations in Ireland.
Although the Catholic Church provided
support for the British forces in the First
World War, by the time of the Second
World War its views of that conflict differed
little from those of the government of
independent Ireland, although there were
sufficient differences that ensured
Catholicism was not just nationalism at
prayer. These and other issues such as
religious perceptions of the Famine,
Cardinal Cullen’s role in shaping the ethos
of Irish Catholicism and the role of
memory, including religious memory, in
Irish violence combine to make this a
fascinating study.

modern Irish and ecclesiastical history at

Monaghan
Mayo
Terence Dooley
Joost Augusteijn
By 1912, a revolution had already taken
place in Monaghan, a bloodless revolution
that had resulted in the overthrow of one
ruling elite to be replaced by another. What
began in 1912 with the signing of the
Ulster Solemn League and Covenant,
followed the next year by the founding of
the Ulster Volunteer Force, might be
considered from the Protestant perspective
as an attempted counter-revolution. It was
at the very least a determined effort to
remain part of the British Empire, which for
most Monaghan Protestants was their
spiritual and ancestral home.
Constitutional nationalists were not
prepared to give up the gains they had
made. Separatist nationalists wanted more
and so for them the 1916 Rising
represented the beginning of unfinished
business. In this political maelstrom there
were agrarian agitators who sought the
final solution to the land question; 2,500
young men who went to war, one-fifth of
whom never returned and the others to a
very changed country; and paramilitaries
who divided along sectarian lines providing
an extra dimension to events of the period.
Thus, between 1912 and 1923, Monaghan
politics and society were transformed for a
second time, not least of all by the
imposition of the border with all the
attendant social and economic problems
partition brought. Because of Monaghan’s
socio-religious demographic and its
borderlands location, this book offers an
intriguing insight to how the period
1912–23 played itself out at local level.
This study of Co. Mayo during the
revolutionary period examines all aspects of
life of the county during a period of
extreme upheaval. Augusteijn utilizes a
wide array of sources, including memoirs of
and interviews with former IRA men and
women, newspaper reports, police records
and other official documents from the
British as well as the alternative Sinn Féin
led governments. Beginning with a
description of the crucial role of the land
question in Mayo politics before the First
World War, Augusteijn shows how the Irish
Party’s powerful position (due to its local
roots in the Land War) was successfully
challenged by Sinn Féin after 1916. The
central role that many important figures
from nationalist history, like Michael Davitt,
William O’Brien, James Dillon and John
MacBride, had in local developments is
highlighted. The author then discusses the
impact of the First World War on the
changing fortunes of the various political
groupings, as well as on the position of
more marginal groups in Mayo including
unionists, suffragettes and labour activists.
Central to the book is the process by which
a nucleus of activists gradually radicalized
and became involved in conflict with the
authorities, bringing with them
ever-increasing numbers of the Mayo
people. How people in their daily lives were
affected is another central theme of the
book, which ends with the first
comprehensive account of events in the
Civil War in the county.

The country house and the Great
War: Irish and British
experiences
Terence Dooley & Christopher Ridgway,
editors
Drawing on archival materials, and
incorporating never-before-seen images,
this volume presents a spectrum of
experiences from owners, to servants and
tenants, as well as the local communities
that lived in the shadow of the big house.
These personal narratives identify lost or
forgotten figures, uncover unknown
narratives and military records, and
excavate the more hidden histories of those
who endured the war at home.

Eugene McNulty & Róisín Ní Ghairbhí,
editors
Patrick Pearse was a journalist, a
pioneering educationalist, an Irish-language
activist, a creative writer, a political theorist
and one of the driving forces behind what
became the Easter Rising of 1916. Like
many among the revolutionary generation
he was deeply interested in the theatre and
its possibilities. He wrote and produced
eleven plays and pageants that drew
widespread attention at the time of their
first production and wrote widely on
theatre, performance and the politics of
identity. Encompassing contributions from
Irish and international scholars and
practitioners from a range of disciplines,
these exciting new readings offer key
insights into Pearse’s engagement with the
performative, and trace the legacy of this
engagement within post-1916 Irish culture.

The Easter Proclamation 1916:
a comparative analysis
Liam de Paor
The words of the Proclamation were put
together by P.H. Pearse and revised by
James Connolly and Thomas MacDonagh.
The document is short and exhortatory.
Nonetheless, teased out, it unfolds patterns
of thought and, perhaps more revealingly,
assumptions worth examining. It is an
essay in a genre. The genre is exemplified in
the American Declaration of Independence,
of 1776, which for that reason is also
discussed here. Providing the most
thorough analysis of the Proclamation, the
book’s paragraph-by-paragraph
commentary is sympathetic but, at times,
sharply critical. Originally published in
1997 (as On the Easter Proclamation and
other declarations), this reissue includes a
new introduction by W.J. McCormack.

Irish culture and wartime Europe,
1938–48
Dorothea Depner & Guy Woodward,
editors
The decade between 1938 and 1948 has been
characterized as a time of stagnation and
isolation in Ireland. During these years,
however, many Irish writers and artists
travelled extensively across the Continent,
while a number of their English counterparts
arrived in Ireland. Taking these journeys as a
starting point, the essays in this collection
explore afresh the cultural history of this
decade and the continuing impact of the
events around and during the Second World
War on Irish literature and culture.

The Making of Dublin City
Joseph Brady & Ruth McManus, series editors
Dublin, 1950–1970: houses,
flats and high rise
Dublin in the 1960s: the car, the
office and the suburbs
Joseph Brady
Joseph Brady
Housing occupies more land than any
other urban use and it helps define the
character of any city. Dublin continued to
expand its footprint during the 1950s
and particularly the 1960s and quickly
spilled over into the county area.
Dubliners favoured a low density city and
a three- or four-bedroomed house with a
garden and perhaps space for a car was
seen as the norm. Dublin Corporation
was an active house builder, though it
slowed its housing provision for some
years in the late 1950s, and large
developments appeared on the northern
edge of the city where most land was
available. This was also the period when
home ownership became much more
common in the private market and the
scale of house building, largely in the
southern suburbs, reflected a growing
city and a more confident economy.
Builders sought to build estates but
without an ‘estate look’ and looked to the
US for inspiration. Up to the 1960s, flats
were largely a phenomenon of the inner
city and were mainly built by Dublin
Corporation. A private sector market in
flats began to emerge in the late 1950s
but growth was slow with imagination
often lacking in developments, which
were mostly located on the southside.
The big housing experiment of the period
was with system building and high rise
on the periphery of the city in Ballymun
and, for a time, it seemed as if this
approach would come to dominate future
provision in both public and private
sectors. These and other issues are
explored in this latest volume in the
Making of Dublin City series which, as
usual, is enhanced by a significant
number of illustrations.
After the relative gloom of the 1950s, there
was a rapid economic pick-up in the early
1960s. Car ownership increased as
standards of living improved and Dublin, in
common with other European cities,
engaged in much soul-searching about
what kind of city was needed for a
car-owning population and whether this
differed from the kind of city that people
wanted. Cars offered greater accessibility
and this, combined with changes in the
nature of industry and especially in the
nature of retailing, profoundly altered the
relationship between Dubliners and the city
centre. A move to self-service and larger
and larger scale retail units (especially in
food retailing) prompted the move to
suburban locations; industry too found
benefits in being able to have large-scale,
low-rise operations on greenfield sites. The
city centre had to redefine its role but it
had a boom in service employment in the
1960s, which demanded purpose-built
office accommodation. The preferred
location for this commercial activity was
the south-eastern sector where the
Georgian landscape was best preserved.
The nature, scale and speed of change
demanded a robust approach to planning
and this was the period in which Dublin
eventually got its first statutory town plan.
These issues are explored in this, the
seventh volume in the Making of Dublin
City series.

20TH-CENTURY STUDIES / ITALIAN STUDIES
UCD Italian Studies Series
John C. Barnes, general editor
Ellen Rowley, editor
This is the first book in a three-volume
series on architectural history, richly
illustrated and written for the general
reader. Unpacking the history of Dublin’s
architecture during the 20th century, each
book covers a period, in chronological
sequence. Volume I contains introductory
historical essays of building culture in
Dublin from 1900 to 1939; followed by 28
case studies ranging from iconic situations
such as the 1917 rebuilding of Sackville
Street lower (later O’Connell Street), to
lesser-known structures like the concrete
Oblates grotto, Inchicore (1929) or the
public library, Drumcondra (1937). Each
study is framed according to key historic
questions, and raises issues around
architectural technology and materials,
patronage and urban planning, residents
and ceremonial or daily use, and so on.
Volume I presents an overview, in
guidebook style, of c.90 sites; a survey of
the city’s buildings over the period 1900 to
1939, not as ‘a best of’ but as a
representation of architectural endeavour
at the time.

Wilhelmina Geddes: life and
work
Nicola Gordon Bowe
‘A book that illuminates Geddes’ artistic
achievement through its detailed analyses
and its many beautiful photographs [...] a
rich picture emerges of a complicated and
somewhat troubled individual who
overcame many impediments to produce a
powerful body of work [...] a wonderful
book’, Tom Walker, Apollo.
‘This sumptuously illustrated and sharply
written book is an astonishing voyage of
rediscovery [...] a powerful intervention,
restoring an artist of fierce originality,
sensuality and modernity [...] Geddes’s
glowering, harsh vision makes Harry
Clarke’s work look dated and pretty [...]
Gordon Bowe conveys a life of utter artistic
commitment and superbly evokes both
Geddes’s powerful technical effects and her
imaginative sweep [...] Few artists can have
been more unjustly forgotten, nor better
served by their biographer’, Roy Foster, Irish
Times.
‘Dubbed the “greatest stained glass artist
of our time” upon her death in London in
1955, the Leitrim-born and Belfast-raised
Geddes has been terribly overlooked since.
This stunningly illustrated, exhaustively
researched and engagingly written book is
clever and beautiful enough to spark a
revival of appreciation’, Cristín Leach
Hughes, Sunday Times.
‘Gordon Bowe’s study has rescued this
significant Irish artist from relative
obscurity [...] Bowe writes passionately and
articulately about Geddes’, Jasmine Allen,
Times Higher Education.
‘Nicola Gordon Bowe’s magisterial new
biography [...] makes for a fascinating tale
[…] the text is shot through, as it should be,
by glorious colour reproductions of the
artist’s work, illuminating the narrative as
her windows did churches … [it is] an epic
work of scholarship’, Frank McNally, Irish
Times.
‘An excellent new book […] Gordon Bowe’s
meticulous recovery of original material
parallels her rewriting into history of this
dazzlingly talented artist who was always
an outsider’, Medb Ruane, Irish Arts Review.

The politics of judicial selection
in Ireland: you be the judge
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill
This book provides an unprecedented
analysis of the politics underlying the
appointment of judges in Ireland, enlivened
by a wealth of interview material, and
putting the Irish experience into a broad
comparative framework. It tells the inside
story of the process by which judges were
chosen both in cabinet and in the Judicial
Appointments Advisory Board over the past
three decades and charts a path for future
reform of judicial appointment processes in
Ireland. The research is based on a large
number of interviews with senior judges,
current and former politicians,
Attorneys-General and members of the
Judicial Appointments Advisory Board. The
circumstances surrounding decisions about
institutional design and institutional change
are reconstructed in meticulous detail,
giving us an excellent insight into the
significance of a complex series of events
that govern the way in which judges in
Ireland are chosen today.
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill is a political
scientist with a research interest in political
institutions and the judiciary. She
completed her PhD research at the School
of Politics and International Relations, UCD,
and is both a IRCHSS Government of

Guardian of the Treaty: the Privy
Council Appeal and Irish
sovereignty
Thomas Mohr
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
was the final appellate court of the British
Empire. In 1935 the Irish Free State was
recognized as the first part of the empire to
abolish the appeal to the Privy Council. This
book examines the controversial Irish
appeal to the Privy Council in the wider
context of the history of the British Empire
in the early 20th century. In particular, it
analyses Irish resistance to the imposition
of the appeal in 1922 and attempts to
abolish it at the Imperial conferences of the
1920s and 1930s. The book also examines
the various means by which the Oireachtas
attempted to block appeals from the Irish
Supreme Court. In addition, this work
examines the contention that the Privy
Council appeal offered a means of
safeguarding the rights of the Protestant
minority within the Irish Free State. Finally,
it reveals British intentions that the Privy
Council act as the guardian and enforcer of
the integrity of the Anglo-Irish settlement
embodied in the 1921 Treaty. The
conclusion to this work explains why the
Privy Council was unsuccessful in protecting
this settlement.
Thomas Mohr is a lecturer at the School
of Law, UCD. He is honorary secretary of
the Irish Legal History Society.

The Irish stage: a legal history
W.N. Osborough
Drama, opera, ballet, circuses, concerts and
puppet-shows: down the years, all these species
of live entertainment faced innumerable
difficulties in Ireland. The challenges that are the
focus in this unique study are those that touched
on matters of law. Assorted venues encountered
episodes of censorship and of riot. Safety of
buildings, performers’ contracts, dramatic
authors’ performing rights, liquor licensing all
merit attention too, as, indeed, necessarily must
the issue of the lawfulness of any ‘theatrical’
activity itself, given the ill-defined powers of the
Irish Master of the Revels (1638–1830) and the
controls exerciseable under the Dublin Stage
Regulation Act (1786–1997).

LEGAL HISTORY
Niamh Howlin
In the 18th and 19th centuries a wide
range of legal issues were decided, not by
professional judges, but by panels of
laypersons. This book considers various
categories of jury, including the trial jury,
the coroner’s jury, the grand jury, the
special jury and the manor court jury. It
also examines some lesser-known types of
jury such as the market jury, the
wide-streets jury, the lunacy jury, the jury of
matrons and the valuation jury. Who were
the men (or women) qualified to serve on
these juries, and how could they be
compelled to act? What were their
experiences of the justice system, and how
did they reach their decisions? The book
also analyses some of the controversies
associated with the Irish jury system during
the period, and examines problems facing
the jury system, including the intimidation
of jurors; bribery and corruption; jurors
delivering verdicts against the weight of
evidence and jurors refusing to carry out
their duties. It evaluates public and legal
perceptions of juries and contrasts the role
of the 19th-century jury with that of the
21st century.
Niamh Howlin is a lecturer in the
Sutherland School of Law at UCD. She has
published extensively on the 19th-century
Irish jury system, as well as on other
aspects of criminal justice history and
contemporary issues surrounding jury trial.

Reflections on law and history
Norma M. Dawson, editor
Born in Rhode Island, Arthur Browne was a
lawyer, a scholar, and a politician in the
Ireland of the late 18th century and
established a brilliant reputation in all
three areas at a time of enormous conflict
and upheaval. The pre-eminent maritime
lawyer of his era, Browne was also an MP
in the Irish parliament, and the Regius
Professor of Civil and Canon Law at Trinity
College Dublin, where he has been
described as ‘one of the most able and
learned academic lawyers ever to teach
there.’ A brilliant and forceful debater,
Browne opposed violent revolution,
supported the Catholics, and became one
of the most powerful liberal voices in the
Irish parliament in the 1790s. His
international reputation as a legal scholar
was established by his two-volume study on
the civil law and the law of the admiralty in
1797 and 1799, a work that had a major
influence around the world and especially
with American maritime law. This new book
explores how the American-born Browne
became a leading figure in Irish law,
academia and politics, and it provides an
entirely new perspective on his role in
parliament during the controversial passing
of the Act of Union in 1800.
Joseph C. Sweeney is the John D.
Calamari distinguished professor of Law at
Fordham U, New York. Educated at
Harvard, Boston U and Columbia, he
served in the US Navy JAG Corps, and is an
internationally respected expert on the
Admiralty, air law, history of the Supreme
Court, international law, international
business transactions, and interethnic
conflict resolution.

to life […] this book provides a long and
intensely interesting argument for the
preservation not only of a house itself but of its
written records, its muniments’, Mary Leland,
Irish Examiner.
‘From academics interested in accessing some
of the latest research in the field of historic
house, estate and demesne landscape studies,
to those involved in the management and
running of these houses as educational
facilities and tourist attractions, to local and

well illustrated, very readable book comes
highly recommended’, Jonathan Cherry, Irish

Joe Holmes – here I am amongst
you: songs, music and traditions of
an Ulsterman
Brian Dornan
This book focuses on the last 100 years in the
life of the Inishkea community, ending in the
1930s. It uses documents, folklore records and
reminiscences of islanders to examine all
aspects of island life, including the land and its
tenants; marriage patterns; the sea and fishing
customs; housing, dress, religion, schooling
and superstition; the whaling industry in the
early twentieth century; place names and
family names.
‘Brian Dornan, archaeologist turned local
historian, has researched the past 100 years of
the Inishkea community and, in his study of its
families, gives scholarly shape to an
extraordinary human saga’, Michael Viney,
Irish Times.

Saint Patrick's world: the Christian
culture of Ireland's apostolic age
Medieval Ireland: territorial,
political and economic divisions
Ireland and the Crimean War
Liam de Paor
Paul MacCotter
The story of Ireland’s conversion to Christianity
will never be known in detail. Too few records
survive. Yet there are some, including two
writings of St Patrick himself. This book brings
together a number of texts, written in Latin in the
4th and 5th centuries AD, which illustrate the
spread of Christianity through Western Europe to
Ireland and shed some light on the organization
of the western church at that time. It presents
them in translation, with notes and explanations.

‘Remarkable [...] MacCotter’s command of the

nothing short of breathtaking [...] the
tightly-written analysis that occupies the first half
of the volume also represents a major
contribution to scholarship’, Peter Crooks, Studia
Hibernica.

The Crimean War dragged on for two years and,
as the generals and politicians bungled and
dithered, the soldiers in the trenches at
Sevastopol endured terrible conditions and died
in droves in senseless attacks on the Russian
fortifications. The Crimean War was, in many
ways, the first ‘modern’ war and it foreshadowed
later events in the trenches of the First World
War. First published in 2002, this is the first book
to assess all levels of Irish involvement in the
Crimean War. It tells the story of the Irish men
and women who travelled to the Crimea to
contribute to the war effort and their experiences
are described using contemporary letters and
published memoirs.

The Otherworld Voyage in early Irish
literature: an anthology of criticism
Jonathan M. Wooding, editor
Early Irish kingship and succession
Bart Jaski
This study re-evaluates the rule of succession, its
origins and its expression in narrative literature,
and examines the meaning of the kingship of
Tara and the titles rígdamna and tánaise ríg. It
sketches the background of the medieval Irish
polity, with its expanding and fragmenting
dynasties, and explains why none ever gained
permanent rule over the whole island.

The modern traveller to the early
Irish church
Prominent in the literature of early Ireland are
the tales known as echtrai (adventures) and
immrama (voyages), stories telling of journeys to
the Otherworld of Celtic legend. These tales have
long held a fascination for both scholars and
general readers, but there is no satisfactory,
comprehensive treatment of them in print. This
anthology presents a selection of the most
important studies of the subject, to which is
added a number of new essays representing the
current state of scholarship. A general
introduction is provided and an extensive
bibliography.

Sending out Ireland’s poor: assisted
emigration to North America in the
nineteenth century
Gerard Moran
Between 1800 and 1914 over eight million
people emigrated from Ireland. While the
majority paid their own passage or had the fares
paid by relations and friends in North America,
there was a sizeable group who could not afford
to leave without assistance. This book looks at
the 300,000 emigrants who went to North
America from 19th-century Ireland and who had
their fares paid by the British government,
landlords, poor law unions and philanthropists.
