商品簡介
Challenging the traditional view that Ireland in the nineteenth century existed as a passive co-participant to British interactions with continental Europe, this collection of eleven articles provides a fresh perspective on Irish relations, arguing that while a geographical outlier, Ireland was closely enmeshed with the cultural and political trends of the time. Papers address topics such as commonalities in philosophies of nationalism in European and Irish contexts, regional discourses on imperialism, and the transfer of ideas in politics, economics, and philosophy. Contributors are academics in history from a variety of Irish and European institutions. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
