Evans has challenged the view, long held, of history which mattered being about a handful of powerful men and great national and international movements, arguing instead that this was a 'rather snobbish and elitist attitude'1. Irish historiography in the 20th century has given scant attention to the sporting lives of Irish aristocracy and landed gentry, the great landlords who controlled much of the country and owned nearly 90 per cent of it. If that aspect of their lives was considered at all, it was predominantly in the judgmental context of a nationalist and republican ethos that lumped them dismissively as the 'rifle, rod and gun brigade', a hard- drinking, fox-hunting group whose rack-renting practices to support that lifestyle had earned the odium of their tenants, and scorn of the peasantry. Analyses of the effects of that sporting lifestyle, and how the peasantry reacted to it, have been very few, and generally anecdotal. One serious historical research on a specific period of fox hunting has been in the context of the nationalist and land agitation movements during the second half of the 19th century2. What effects their hunting and shooting had on the populations of deer, ground game and gamebirds, and the resulting legacies from prolonged exploitation of both native wild and imported quarry species, in the aftermath of the gentry's dissolution, are questions largely untouched from an analytical historical perspective. Equally omitted from Irish historiography is the pertinent question of the state's reactions to acquiring landed estates that held deer and game, and its subsequent management of game and deer species, and habitat conservation. Were all of the Irish ascendancy really like the stereotyped image that much of nationalist historiography has portrayed ? Did Irish nationalists and republicans eschew the field sports of gentlemen, or willingly participate in them and cooperate with the landed classes? Were the inhabitants of the 'Big House' devoid of human feeling, irresponsible in their business, and profligate in their lifestyles? Was their attitude anthropomorphic or atavistic towards the animals and birds they killed?, and did the landed gentry manage their game and deer purely for sporting pleasure, or for hard commercial exploitation? Did action on the hunting and shooting field enforce a rigid class structure, or break it down and cross-infect aristocrat and peasant? When their great landholdings were split up and returned to the people under successive Land Acts and the aegis of the Land Commission, how did the state manage those estates it acquired? What legacies of landscapes and wildlife did the state inherit, and in what circumstances did Ireland's first national park originate? In particular, how did the individual personalities of aristocrat, great landlord, wealthy estate owner, Irish nationalist and Irish republican influence the sporting and hunting ethos of landed estates in the south west of Ireland during the 19th and 20th centuries? To address these and other related issues, this study is concentrated on the historical aspect of the elitist field sports of deer stalking and game shooting, as practised by four Irish landed ascendancy families in 1 Richard J Evans In Defence of History (London, 1997, p 162). 2 L P Curtis Jr 'Stopping the Hunt, 1881-1882: An Aspect of the Irish Land War' in C H E Philpin (ed) Nationalism and Popular Protest in Ireland (New York, 1987).

  • The 10Th April of Spencer Walpole: the Problem of Revolution In
    ROYDEN HARRISON THE ioth APRIL OF SPENCER WALPOLE: THE PROBLEM OF REVOLUTION IN RELATION TO REFORM, 1865-1867 1 The ioth April 1848 is one of the most famous days in the history of the nineteenth century. The Chartists of London had screwed them­ selves up for a decisive trial of strength with the ruling classes. They found themselves outnumbered by the combined resources of the civil and military powers. They shrank back before the prospect of a collision with the vast forces of law and order and property com­ manded by the Duke of Wellington and Richard Mayne. What was to have been a triumphant demonstration of the overwhelming power and determination of the people, ended in the anything but triumphal progress of a few hired hackney coaches carrying a dubious petition. "The ioth April, 1848 will long be remembered as a great field day of the British Constitution", announced the Times. "The signal of unconstitutional menace, of violence, of insurrection, of revolution, was yesterday given in our streets, and happily despised by a peaceful, prudent, and loyal metropolis. That is the triumph we claim This settles the question. In common fairness it ought to be regarded as a settled question for years to come. The Chartists and Confederates made the challenge, and chose the field and trial of strength. They must stand by their choice. They chose to disturb the metropolis for the chance of something coming of it. They fished for a revolution and have caught a snub. We congratulate them on their booty, which we hope they will divide with their partners in Dublin.

  • The Origins and Expansion of the O'shea Clan
    The Origins and Expansion of the O’Shea Clan At the beginning of the second millennium in the High Kingship of Brian Boru, there were three distinct races or petty kingdoms in what is now the County of Kerry. In the north along the Shannon estuary lived the most ancient of these known as the Ciarraige, reputed to be descendants of the Picts, who may have preceded the first Celts to settle in Ireland. On either side of Dingle Bay and inland eastwards lived the Corcu Duibne1 descended from possibly the first wave of Celtic immigration called the Fir Bolg and also referred to as Iverni or Erainn. The common explanation of Fir Bolg is ‘Bag Men’ so called as they allegedly exported Irish earth in bags to spread around Greek cities as protection against snakes! However as bolg in Irish means stomach, generations of Irish school children referred to them gleefully as ‘Fat bellies’ or worse. Legend has it that these Fir Bolg, as we will see possibly the ancestors of the O’Shea clan, landed in Cork. Reputedly small, dark and boorish they settled in Cork and Kerry and were the authors of the great Red Branch group of sagas and the builders of great stone fortresses around the seacoasts of Kerry. Finally around Killarney and south of it lived the Eoganacht Locha Lein, descendants of a later Celtic visitation called Goidels or Gaels. Present Kerry boundary (3) (2) (1) The territories of the people of the Corcu Duibne with subsequent sept strongholds; (1) O’Sheas (2) O’Falveys (3) O’Connells The Corcu Duibne were recognised as a distinct race by the fifth or sixth century AD.

Abstract: The Saint Joseph’s University Records (formerly Saint Joseph’s College) houses the institutional, and organizational records of Saint Joseph’s University. This collection, which dates from 1851-2019, with bulk dates of 1960-1990, consists of photographs; including negatives and slides, correspondence, documents; including records, minutes, memoranda and reports, ephemera, objects, memorabilia; including audio and video recordings, scrapbooks and yearbooks which document and evidence the history of the administrative and academic units and activities of SJU’s administration, faculty, staff and students. Because of SJU’s association with Old Saint Joseph’s Church and the Jesuits who founded it, this collection not only documents the University’s history and activities but adds to the knowledge of Catholic History in the City of Philadelphia and its surrounding areas. Saint Joseph's University which is currently a Jesuit, Catholic co-educational institution, began as an all-male college in 1851. It is an institution whose history is intertwined with the religious, educational, and social history of the city of Philadelphia as well as the history of the Catholic church in Philadelphia.
