His conclusion was that ‘writing history is a much more difficult undertaking than it was in the 1960s’, because ‘the crippling accumulation of specialised knowledge means that one has to work very much harder to say anything new.’1 And yet, the rewards are potentially huge: by finding new evidence and applying different approaches, and by presenting one’s research in such a way as to engage the interest of academics and ordinary people alike, the writing of history may continue to enlighten and delight readers as it has done for thousands of years. Such is the achievement of this excellent collection of essays by young historians brought together under the auspices of the University of Limerick History Society. This latest volume of the History Studies journal offers many fresh insights that help us to understand the past better. The essays cover a refreshingly broad spectrum. As well as twentieth-century Irish history, there is an emphasis on US responses to its domestic and international problems, and on European experiences of the Ottoman Empire. Attention is also given to approaches to scriptural translation in the Reformation period, and to the mixed loyalties of soldiers in the Bourbon armies of the early eighteenth century. William O’Neill, and Daniel Haverty have presented novel interpretations of well-studied subjects. O’Neill shows how received understanding of the Carter administration’s supposed lack of direction in foreign policy is belied by its success in luring the USSR into a debilitating military commitment in Afghanistan. Haverty has provided a reassessment of the rise of the IRSP/INLA following Bloody Sunday, one in which the nationalist desire for independence is overshadowed by the appeal of this organisation for the deprived working classes in Derry. Aneliya Stoyanova, meanwhile, has examined the practice of training and employing dragomans by the diplomatic representatives of the Austrian Habsburgs in Istanbul during the later sixteenth century. Dragomans were officials who acted as interpreters, and played an important part in high-level negotiations between the Porte 1 The Times Literary Supplement, 13 Oct. 2006. ii and the government in Vienna. As such, they were responsible for the more universal business of conveying and directing meaning, which is also present in Jennifer Lynn Egloff’s analysis of numerical indexing techniques in early translations of the Bible. She shows how the practice allowed the authorities to maintain control over scriptural interpretations, whilst inadvertently creating a means for the faithful to take command of their own religious education. Negotiated connivance with the authorities is a common thread running through the other essays. Judy Bolger has analysed the motives behind, and responses towards, Liam Deasy’s appeal in 1923 for the IRA leaders to make terms with the government in Dublin. William Runacre has discovered numerous cases in which Catholic Jacobite officers defected to the British during the War of the Spanish Succession, whilst Mateusz Orszulak shows how Venetian prisoners and diplomats sought to understand the Ottoman political system. Finally, Angela Balfe has discussed how the Irish of early nineteenth-century America managed to shake off discrimination, and establish themselves as an ascendant political class with the power to obstruct immigration from rival national groups. It is particularly gratifying to see how younger historians are successfully coping with the challenges of writing history today, and it has been an honour to be asked to provide the foreword for such a stimulating collection of essays. They fulfil the central requirement of the Spanish Golden Age: that of educating and delighting the reader at the same time. My congratulations go to the authors, as well as to the editors in having brought together such a fine assemblage of scholarship. Dr Alistair Malcolm MA (St Andrews), D. Phil. (Oxon), Acting Head of Department iii Editorial It is with great pride and honour that the editors present the eighteenth volume of History Studies. Now nearing its twentieth year, our journal continues to be the only one in Ireland that is both edited and managed by postgraduate students. Continuing in this fine tradition, we are pleased to deliver eight essays, which we believe will be worthy additions to what is an already well-established record of excellence in historical scholarship. These essays take the reader on a journey across ages and continents. The variety of subjects dealt with in these pages reveals that historical research is alive and well, from undergraduates and postgraduates to postdoctoral and independent researchers. While we are pleased that History Studies (this present edition included) continues and will always continue to be an outlet for our own students in the University of Limerick, we must further express our satisfaction at publishing a set of essays compiled not only from amongst Irish universities but also from various corners of the world. Therefore, we take pride in the fact that in presenting the reader with this volume, we are also presenting them with what is both a reflection and a compilation of the exceptional standards with which research is being undertaken not only in Ireland but also in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. Stephen Griffin John Harrington Holly O’Farrell 20 November 2018 iv Acknowledgements The editors would like to thank Dr Alistair Malcolm, Acting Head of Department, Department of History, University of Limerick, for his generous sponsorship of and support for this volume of the journal and for the continued support of History Studies by the History Department. We are also grateful for the generous support of the President, Professor Desmond Fitzgerald, as well Dr Niamh NicGhabhann, Assistant Dean of Research and Dean Lillis, President of the Postgraduate Students’ Union. The editors also extend their gratitude to the Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Helen Kelly-Holmes, for her support of this journal. To Dr David Fleming, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and co-founder of History Studies, we offer our thanks for his guidance and representations on our behalf. We also extend our gratitude to both Robert Collins and Gerald Maher, who as former editors, were able to offer much needed and valuable guidance. Finally, we offer our sincere thanks to our eight contributors, without whose hard work none of this would have been made possible. v History Studies Vol. 18 The ‘old Irish’ and American immigration legislation and reform Angela Balfe Immigration to the United States is a demographic phenomenon that has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. For the most part, the latter half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century saw immigration at its highest, and in turn, the implementation of much debated legislation. Although immigration to the United States had ebbed and flowed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, it would be events in the latter half of the nineteenth century which were responsible for the dramatic

  • Accounting and Discounting for the International Contacts of the Provisional Irish Republican Army by Michael Mckinley
    Conflict Quarterly Of "Alien Influences": Accounting and Discounting for the International Contacts of the Provisional Irish Republican Army by Michael McKinley NATURE OF INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS In a world where nation states are unanimous in their disavowal of terrorism — even if they are incapable of unanimously agreeing on a defini­ tion of what it is they are disavowing — and in a Western Europe which regards separatist and irredentist claims as anathema, mere is a natural ten­ dency for those who are so excluded to make common cause where they might Disparate as these groups are, they really have only themselves to meet as equals; though they might wish to be nation states or represent nation states in the fullness of time, they exist until then as interlopers in the relations between states: seldom invited and then almost always disappointed by their reception. It is a world with which the Provisional Irish Republican Army and its more political expression, Sinn Fein, are entirely familiar and also one in which, given their history, political complexion, strategy and objectives, it would be extraordinarily strange for them not to have a wide range of inter­ national contacts. But potent as the reflex of commonality by exclusion is, it does not completely determine these linkages because to argue this is to argue on the basis of default rather than purpose. For the Provisionals there is a utility not only of making such contacts but also in formalizing them where possible within the movements' organizational structure. Thus, in 1976 the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis moved to establish, under the directorship of Risteard Behal, a Foreign Affairs Bureau, with Behal as its first "sort of roving Euro­ pean ambassador .

  • 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia
    Madis Maasing 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia 17.1 Introduction At the beginning of the sixteenth century, political rhetoric in Livonia was shaped by the threat posed by an alien power: Following a significant deterio- ration in the relations between the Catholic Livonian territories and their mighty Eastern Orthodox neighbour – the Grand Duchy of Moscow – war broke out, lasting from 1501 to 1503, with renewed armed conflict remaining an immi- nent threat until 1509. During this period of confrontation, and afterwards, the Livonians (i.e., the political elite of Livonia) fulminated in their political writ- ings about the gruesome, schismatic, and even infidel Russians, who posed a threat not only to Livonia, but to Western Christendom in general. In the Holy Roman Empire and at the Roman Curia, these allegations were quite favoura- bly received. Arguably, the Livonians’ greatest success took the form of a papal provision for two financially profitable anti-Russian indulgence campaigns (1503–1510). For various political reasons, the motif of a permanent and general ‘Russian threat’ had ongoing currency in Livonia up until the Livonian War (1558–1583). Even after the collapse of the Livonian territories, the Russian threat motif continued to be quite effectively used by other adversaries of Mos- cow – e.g., Poland-Lithuania and Sweden. I will focus here first and foremost on what was behind the initial success of the Russian threat motif in Livonia, but I will also address why it persisted for as long as it did. A large part of its success was the fact that it drew upon a similar phenomenon – the ‘Turkish threat’,1 which played a significant role in the political rhetoric of Early Modern Europe, especially in south-eastern 1 This research was supported by the Estonian Research Council’s PUT 107 programme, “Me- dieval Livonia: European Periphery and its Centres (Twelfth–Sixteenth Centuries)”, and by the European Social Fund’s Doctoral Studies and Internationalization Programme DoRa, which is carried out by Foundation Archimedes.

Ryan Evans Lancaster University, UK Ryan K Evans July 2019 ii “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Abstract This thesis examines the presence and use of colour in the plays of Sean O’Casey and argues that while a portion of colour in the drama is aesthetic, another portion is intentionally utilized as a means to provide additional contextual commentary, be it cultural, religious, political, or artistic in nature. This practice stems, I argue, in part because of O’Casey’s tendency towards an appreciation for beautiful things stemming from his artistic leanings.
