Modern Ireland, Summer 2011

Transcription

1 Here is the syllabus I the last time I taught the course. It will be tweaked a bit for this summer, but it provides more than a general idea of what we will do in the course. HIST 5404 Nancy Curtin Modern Ireland, Summer 2011 Course description This course will focus on revolution, nationalism, and constitutionalism in Ireland from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. We examine the revolutionary republican movements of 1798, 1848, 1867, and 1916 as well as the constitutional agitations headed by Grattan, O'Connell, and Parnell, the roots of Irish social and economic discontent, the Great Famine, and the Land War. Required Reading Unless noted otherwise, all books and articles are posted on Blackboard. A useful background survey of this period is Robert Kee, The Green Flag: A History of Irish Nationalism (1972), available for under $20 from Amazon.com.
