Reading – HY311 (Professor Terence Dooley)

There are a number of texts which treat of the broad outline of Irish history over the past two centuries. Most of these are listed below. The Core Text which I will be referring to throughout the course is Alvin Jackson, Ireland 1798-1998: politics and war. Copies are currently available for about €3 on Amazon.com and there are multiple copies in the library.

In terms of survey and companion histories I will also be drawing extensively from the following and these constitute Recommended Reading:

Roy Foster,Modern Ireland 1600-1972(London, 1988), currently available from about €2 on Amazon.com, andthere are multiple copies in the library.

Alvin Jackson (ed.),The Oxford handbook of modern Irish history(Oxford, 2017), currently around €30, and there are multiple copies in the library.

Eugenie Biaginin and Mary E Daly (eds.),The Cambridge social history of modern Ireland(Cambridge, 2017), currently around €30, and there are multiple copies in the library.
