R.B. McDowell's biography traces the varied career of Henry Grattan, the elusive figure whose political fortunes were as tempestuous as his own emotions. McDowell begins with Grattan's family background and his brilliant early years in the Irish House of Commons. McDowell documents Grattan's epic political struggle with Henry Flood for control of the Dublin parliament during these heady years. The biography ends - based on an intensive study of an immense quantity of original source material - with a survey of the ways in which Grattan has been written about by scholars and remembered by posterity.
The long and acrimonious exchange of pamphlets, which surrounded publication of Richard Woodward's Present State of the Church ofIreland in December 1786 has attracted a good deal of comment from historians interested in the Whiteboys, resistance to tithes and interdenominational relations in Ireland. Emphasising the importance of theoretical reflexivity in critical practice, W.J. Mc Cormack goes beyond commentary to establish a full and annotated list of the publications involved. His bibliographical research is carefully placed wihin a wider context of interpretation, drawing on Anglo-American linguistic philosophy, German critical theoty and Begriffsgeschichte, and the findings of fellow Irish researchers.
