- Summary:
-
"Richard English's new book offers a history of Irish nationalism, in which events are not merely narrated but also analysed and explained. Full of rich detail, based on years of original research and also on the extensive specialist literature on the subject, it provides a unique explanation of why, over the centuries, Irish nationalists have believed and acted as they have, why their ideas and strategies have changed over time, and what effect Irish nationalism has had in shaping modern Ireland."--BOOK JACKET.
