Draws from a wide range of disciplines to bring together 36 leading scholars writing about 400 years of modern Irish history
While most scholarly attention on violence in post-famine Ireland has focused on political crimes, this book examines non-political violence, which made up the vast majority of incidents in that period. Ireland's overall crime rate was below that of England and Wales, but the proportion of violent offenses to non-violent ones was significantly higher in Ireland. In Melancholy Accidents, Carolyn Conley decries the commonly-held belief that recreational and domestic violence was generally the result of understandable emotions. Conley demonstrates that the meaning of violence in post-famine Ireland was complex, personal, and often deeply traditional and idiosyncratic. This unique book will be valuable to a wide variety of scholars, including those who study women's history, European history, and social problems.
This text offers a re-interpretation of Irish political history in the partition era from the perspective of the losers. It is a general text covering 50 years of Irish political history, as well as a case study of Catholic Belfast and a biography of Joe Devlin.
Here Barbara Freitag examines all the literature on the subject since their discovery 160 years ago, highlighting the inconsistencies of the various interpretations in regard to origin, function and name. By considering the Sheela-na-gigs in their medieval social context, she suggests that they were folk deities with particular responsibility for assistance in childbirth. This fascinating survey sheds new light on a controversial phenomenon, and also contains a complete catalogue of all known Sheela-na-gigs, including hitherto unrecorded or unpublished figures.

Many analyses of Ireland's past and present are couched in colonial terms. For some, it is the only framework for understanding Ireland. Others reject the label. This study evaluates and analyzes the situation.
