  • The Story of a House Kevin Casey
    The Story of a House Kevin Casey Everything we know about Nathaniel Clements suggests that he was an archetypal Ascendancy man. Eighteenth century Dublin was a good place in which to be young, rich and of the ruling class. The Treaty of Limerick - the event that marked the beginning of the century as definitively as the Act of Union ended it - provided a minority of the population, the Ascendancy, with status, influence and power. Penal Laws, imposed upon Roman Catholics and Dissenters, made it impossible for them to play an active part in Government or to hold an office under the Crown. Deprived of access to education and burdened with rigorous property restrictions, they lived at, or below, subsistence level, alienated from the ruling class and supporting any agitation that held hope of improving their lot. Visitors to the country were appalled by what they saw: "The poverty of the people as I passed through the country has made my heart ache", wrote Mrs. Delaney, the English wife of an Irish Dean. "I never saw greater appearance of misery." Jonathan Swift provided an even more graphic witness: "There is not an acre of land in Ireland turned to half its advantage", he wrote in 1732, "yet it is better improved than the people .... Whoever travels this country and observes the face of nature, or the faces and habits and dwellings of the natives, will hardly think himself in a land where law, religion or common humanity is professed." For someone like Nathaniel Clements, however, the century offered an amalgam of power and pleasure.

  • Exile in America: Political Expulsion and the Limits of Liberal Government
    EXILE IN AMERICA: POLITICAL EXPULSION AND THE LIMITS OF LIBERAL GOVERNMENT A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Briana L. McGinnis, B.A. Washington, DC April 22, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Briana McGinnis All Rights Reserved ii EXILE IN AMERICA: POLITICAL EXPULSION AND THE LIMITS OF LIBERAL GOVERNMENT Briana L. McGinnis, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Richard Boyd, PhD. ABSTRACT “Exile,” as a concept, remains largely neglected by political theory. Of the few pieces addressing it, most approach exile as a phenomenon peculiar to ancient cultures, or as a tool of the illiberal, even authoritarian, regime. But a survey of American history indicates that although communities may not openly ostracize, outlaw, or exile, they have not suppressed the desire to purge their membership rolls. Rather, they have become more adept at disguising it, draping illiberal exile practices in the language of law, consent, and contract. Perhaps it is the complexity of defining, and consequently recognizing, exile in the twenty-first century that leads us to regard it as a fringe occurrence. Nonetheless, exile is alive and well in the present day. This project has three aims. First, to offer a working conception of "exile" that clears away rhetorical confusion and returns the idea to the realm of the political. I explore exile as a political phenomenon, wherein the coercive power of government is used to expel members from their home communities for purposes of membership control.

  • Ascendancy Ireland, 1660-1800 Ultán Gillen on 1 January 1801 Church
    Ascendancy Ireland, 1660-1800 Ultán Gillen On 1 January 1801 church bells rang out to celebrate the union between the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland coming into force that day. A young Catholic barrister, outraged at what he saw as the violation of the rights of the Irish nation, reacted to the sound with a mixture of disgust and fury. Daniel O’Connell would later lead two mass movements that impacted profoundly on Irish and British history, the campaigns for Catholic emancipation and for the repeal of the Act of Union of 1800. As generations of Irish schoolchildren have been told, the bitter memory of those ringing bells inspired him in later years. A perfect anecdote with which to begin an essay on the history of nineteenth-century Ireland, on closer examination it also raises the themes that shaped Irish history in the period 1660-1800. The accession of Charles Stuart as Charles II in 1660 saw the end of the brief union between Britain and Ireland imposed by the Commonwealth regime. For much of our period, the relationship between the two countries proved contentious, culminating in the 1798 rebellion and subsequent union decried by O’Connell. O’Connell personified several of the forces that shaped Irish history at this time. An Irish-speaker and an English-speaker, he came from a Munster gentry family that had been dispossessed of much of its land. Catholics like O’Connell were barred from practising law for much of the period; the Catholic Relief Act of 1792 that opened the legal profession to them reflected the growth of the Catholic professional classes in the context of a developing economy, changing ideas about toleration in the era of enlightenment and revolution, and the increasing political power of public opinion.

  • Anglo-Irish Architectural Exchange in the Early Eighteenth Century
    Anglo-Irish Architectural Exchange in the early eighteenth century: Patrons, Practitioners and Pieds-à-terre. Volume I: Text. Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 2015. Melanie Hayes University of Dublin, Trinity College. Declaration: I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other University and that it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed: _______________ Melanie Hayes Summary: This wide-sweeping contextual study sets out to bridge the gap between the formal architectural histories of London and Dublin in the early Georgian period, establishing the links between the vibrant architectural cultures of the two capitals at a significant time for the development of Dublin’s domestic architecture. Crossing the divide between historical and architectural concerns, this thesis draws together a web of contextual and circumstantial material, adding thick layer of social, economic and political history to the formal narratives, to establish the connective tissue with which to flesh out the bare bones of the buildings. In so doing, it offers new insights into the exchange of architectural taste between London and Dublin, the routes by which this took place, and the major protagonists involved. Hitherto, the historiography of Dublin’s domestic architecture has been largely locally based. This thesis broadens the scope of enquiry, exploring the wider cross-cultural context in which the transmission and assimilation of emerging tastes in domestic urban architecture took place, specifically the relationship between the pioneering residential developments on the Gardiner estate in Dublin, primarily at Henrietta Street (c.1725-50s) and to a lesser degree Sackville Street Upper (c.1750s), and the almost contemporary residential expansion in London’s West End.
