The Tree of Liberty: Radicalism, Catholicism, and the Construction of Irish Identity, 1760-1830 / Edition 1

by Kevin Whelan

Overview

The four independent but interlocking essays included revolve around the 1790's, arguably the pivotal decade in the evolution of modern Ireland. The 1790's witnessed the emergence of separatism, popular republicanism and loyalism, and the Orange Order and Maynooth College, and culminated in the act of Union, which defined subsequent relations between Ireland and Britain.
