Professor Marjorie Murphy Fall Semester, 2013 Trotter 210 Wed-Thur 2:30-4 pm X8091 Swarthmore College HISTORY 90 B: Irish History From Ring Forts to old Eskers, this course begins with the melting of the Ice Cap and goes all the way to the Troubles. We begin with considerations of climate, geography and language moving on to the monuments of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. After a careful consideration of Celtic origins we move on to the arrival of Christainity and the Pelegrian Crisis. After that we follow the wave of invasions, the Vikings and Normans on to the Tudors. After Elizabeth we explore the legacy of Cromwell and the Plantation system on Ireland leading up to the Famine. The slow recovery to the discontent expressed in the Land Leagues, Parliament and the Celtic revival act as prelude to the Uprising of 1916 and from this to the Civil War and the bid for Independence. The Irish malaise lingered after World War 2 as Ireland looked to the outside world for some relief and found it in two meaningful opportunities: Civil Rights and Economic Union. The pursuit of these two issues led again to another double-edged sword: the Celtic Tiger and the Troubles. Required Books: John O Beirne Ranelagh, A Short History of Ireland, second edition Thomas Kinsella, translator, The Tain Oxford University Press Sean Duffy, Ireland in the Middle Ages Padraig Lenihan, Consolidating Conquest: Ireland 1603-1727 Peter Duffy, The Killing of Major Denis Mahon: A Mystery of Old Ireland Peter DeRosa, Rebels: The Irish Rising of 1916 Papers and Assignments: Readings are on Moodle and in texts ordered for you, they are an essential part of the course. There is a Midterm October 10 th (30%) and Final Examintion (Take Home)(40%) and three five page papers (10%): September 19 th, the Tain Bo; The Land Leagues and Kilmainham goal. Discussion sessions and attendance are part of the grade as well. Requirements: Reading the weekly reading material, preparing carefully for class and participation in class discussions are also part of the requirement. Failure to attend more than three classes will cost one half grade for each additional absence.
