Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

  • Eliza Haywood's Eighteenth-Century Readers in Pennsylvania and New
    Eliza Haywood’s Eighteenth-Century Readers in Pennsylvania and New York Patrick Spedding HE NEW YORK SOCIETY LIBRARY (NYSL)—NEW YORK CITY ’S OLDEST LIBRARY —HAS digitized and transcribed its earliest surviving borrowing ledger, which Tdocuments the reading history of its members from July 1789 to April 1792. 1 The ledger contains information about the reading habits of five hundred NYSL members, including famous figures such as George Washington, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. The NYSL ledgers are an extremely important source of information for book historians and literary critics, since they provide an insight into reading habits of Eliza Haywood’s eighteenth-century readers. Twenty years ago, Ronald J. Zboray demonstrated the value of the mid- nineteenth century ledgers of the NYSL for historians of Antebellum America but few scholars have explored the earlier ledgers. 2 In the following essay I provide 1 Although the ledger was found in an ‘extremely fragile condition’ in 1934, amongst rubbish at a previous library location, it was not properly restored until early this century (‘About the Ledger’—which contains links to NYSL library catalogues of 1789 and 1793, plus the supplements of 1791 and 1792). The ledger was digitised and published on the NYSL website in December 2010 (‘The New York Society Library Opens Historic Ledger to Public’). 2 Zboray’s detailed study focuses on the borrowings of 229 subscribers over two, three- year periods: 1847-49 and 1854-56. For scholarship on the borrowing (or ‘charging’) ledgers of other nineteenth-century institutions, see below. At present, the (digitised) first borrowing ledger appears to have provided material for only a single scholarly footnote (Miller 210n4).

  • Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
    JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) Ian Campbell Ross Jonathan Swift is most famous as the author of Gulliver’s Travels (1726), the most widely read book ever written in Ireland or by an Irish writer. Never out of print since its first publication, translated into countless languages, read in innumerable editions and abridgements, made into films and cartoons (one starring Mickey Mouse), and the subject of impassioned arguments over nearly three centuries as to its essential morality or misanthropy, Gulliver’s Travels is nonetheless only a small part of Jonathan Swift’s writings, in verse and prose, produced over a period of more than fifty years, during which he served as a priest of the Protestant Church of Ireland, most notably as Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. His father, a lawyer, died before Jonathan’s birth, and his childhood was partly spent in the care of a nurse and most likely in the absence of both parents. Certainly, he boarded at Kilkenny College between the ages of six and fourteen, receiving the foundations of the classical humanist education reserved for boys of his social class. In 1682, Swift entered what was then Ireland’s only university, Trinity College Dublin, continuing his studies in Latin and Greek, adding Hebrew, and deepening his knowledge of Aristotelian philosophy. After four years, he graduated with the degree of B.A. ex speciali gratia—a term that Swift later glossed to imply that he had been a poor student but which most likely did not have the negative connotations Swift would later mischievously suggest.

  • Was Swift Married to Stella
    WAS SWIFT MARRIED TO STELLA. In treating of the relations of Jonathan Swift to those two women whose names have ever involved the story of his life in the darkest mystery, it seems to have been the rule for biographers to give their opinions, theories or surmises. There has been, I believe, only one exception. In 1824 George Monck Mason published in Dublin his u History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Church at St. Patrick's". Over half of this cumber- some folio is devoted to a life of Swift, in which is included a full treatment of this subject. The form of the book is not at all attractive. About nine-tenths of the important matter is contained in the foot-notes, which are often heavy and dull. This book is practically forgotten now. There are at most half a dozen copies of it in this country, and I am told that it is nearly as rare in Great Britain. Besides this book, Mr. Henry Craik has devoted an appendix of his Life of Swift to what professes to be a scientific investigation of that which is, to my mind, the most important question to settle in all the history of Swift's life, the question whether or not be was married to Stella.l If there had been more of this sort of work done, I believe that the prevailing conception of Jonathan Swift's character would be a diflerent one to-day from what it is. It is necessary for us, therefore, to make a scientific study of this subject, and not to theorize about it, even though cer- 1 I might mention, in this connection, a book called "Swift: the Mystery of his Life and Love", by Mr.
