Political Thought in Ireland Since the Seventeenth Century

These pioneering essays provide a unique study of the development of political ideas in Ireland from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. The book breaks away from the traditional emphasis in Irish historiography on the nationalism/unionism debate to focus instead on previously neglected areas such as the role of the Scottish Enlightenment and early Irish socialism and conservatism. A wide range of original primary sources are used from pamphlets to journalism, devotional tracts to poetry.Boyce, David George is the author of 'Political Thought in Ireland Since the Seventeenth Century' with ISBN 9780415013543 and ISBN 0415013542.
