  • Edmund Burke and Daniel O'connell: Contrasting Champions of Catholic
    Edmund Burke and Daniel O’Connell: Contrasting Champions of Catholic Emancipation John P. McCarthy Both Edmund Burke and Daniel O’Connell were rooted in the defeated or oppressed Irish Catholic population, who still bore the brunt of the Penal Law regime and directed their major energies to combating it. Burke is best known as a conservative who condemned the French Revolution and the ideologists who inspired and supported it whether in France or elsewhere. In contrast, O’Connell, born almost a half century after Burke, began his public career after Burke’s death and was a liberal, even radical, pioneer of mass democratic politics. Although he had to flee revolutionary France where he and his brother had gone to study, he was not deterred during his subsequent legal studies in London from reading with enthusiasm many of the very writers whose views were contrary to Burke’s, such as Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Mary Wollstonecraft. But he was especially influenced by William Godwin who wanted do away with institutions like marriage, organized religion, private property, and monarchy in the pursuit of human perfectibility. However, counting on the power of reason to achieve his aims, he was opposed to violence, which might explain O’Connell’s own persistent adherence to non-violence in his employment of the techniques of mass democratic politics. Born in Dublin, Burke and his brothers were members of the Established Church because their father had conformed in order to practice law. Their mother, a cousin of Nano Nagle, and their sister were Catholics. Much of his youth was spent in a Catholic atmosphere with his mother’s relatives in Cork, receiving primary education in a hedge school.

  • GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING a RECORD of IRELAND's Hcflqms DEAD in DUBLIN CITY and COUNTY ALSO V LACES of HISTORIC INTEREST
    THE GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING A RECORD OF IRELAND'S HcflQMS DEAD IN DUBLIN CITY AND COUNTY ALSO V LACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST PRICE b|? NATIONAL GRAVES ASSOCIATION, 41 PARNELL SQUARE. FOREWORD The National Graves Association deserves praise and congratulations for its effort in making available this permanent record of Patriot Graves in and around Dub­ lin, and of the places where many met their deaths in the struggle for national liberty. It is to be hoped that this initial effort is the first instalment of what will be a permanent All-Ireland record. The work deserves the fullest support of all who wish the sacrifices made to be properly recorded, ‘ and it is certain to receive due recognition, not only in Ireland, but amongst our people abroad. I would appeal especially to Eepublicans to give this project their active support. While we profess a reverence for the names and memories of our heroes and martyrs, we sometimes fall short in giving positive evidence of this feeling, as is shown by neglect of many of their resting-places, or of the spots where they met their deaths at the hands of the enemy. Many of the graves of our National Dead are unmarked; some are only vaguely known, while others are entirely unknown. The graves of the soldiers of the Eepublic of Ireland, who gave their lives in recent times, are sometimes untended. Such neglect is contrary to the general belief which credits us with great reverence for our dead. This is a lapse from duty which the National Graves Association is seeking to have remedied.

Introduction Mythologizing historical figures is tempting. Creating martyrs and heroes from old battles lost and won can make those stories easier to understand and certainly easier to use in support of modern causes. Despite the convenience, ignoring the depths of historical characters is a harmful practice. Past events and people were just as complex as modern ones, and failing to recognize this prevents understanding of both the events themselves and their effects on the world of today. The Irish revolutionary Theobald Wolfe Tone has often been subject to such misinterpretations. Tone, called the “father of Irish republicanism,” has been a focus of both scholarly and cultural attention.1 His large body of personal and public writings makes his life and his role in the 1798 Irish rebellion against English rule easy to study, but understanding Tone’s real character and his place in the political context of the time is a more complex endeavor.

  • The Origins and Transformation of Early Irish Republicanism*
    MARIANNE ELLIOTT THE ORIGINS AND TRANSFORMATION OF EARLY IRISH REPUBLICANISM* The history of Irish republicanism has always suffered from an excessive concentration on its later phases. But much light can be thrown on its essential characteristics by a closer examination of its origins. A full understanding of such a contradictory movement would require an inves- tigation of the mutations in public consciousness during the last three centuries. But most historians agree in tracing its origins to the United Irish Society of the 1790's, when the attitudes and conditions which were to dictate the future course of republicanism and loyalism were crystallised. In the light of recent events in Ireland interest in the United Irishmen has revived.1 However, even recent research has failed to explain satisfactorily the swift transformation of the United Irishmen's secular republicanism by the traditional fears and aspirations of the Catholic population. Nor has anyone attempted to answer the very basic question of how large sections of a non-political and essentially loyal peasantry could in the short period of the 1790's have acquired many of the fundamental traits of later sepa- ratist movements. Already by the turn of the century popular oral culture, latterly dominated by themes taken from Gaelic mythology, speaks instead of dead rebel heroes, of the English oppressor and the Protestant enemy.2 * I am grateful to Dr M. R. Beames, Dr D. G. Boyce, Dr Sean Connolly, and M. MacCarthy-Morrogh for their helpful advice ad criticism of various points in mis article. 1 P.
