Commemorating revolutionary Ireland from above and below

The historiography of the Irish revolutionary period has developed significantly in recent years. 1 Scholars lately have emphasised the revolution's social dimensions, including class, gender and regional variation, much of this through the funding streams provided by the Irish State to commemorate the centenary period.This led to local authority-led historianin-residence programmes in many counties, public lectures, exhibitions, publications, artistic responses and much more. 2As a result, the historiography today reflects a more nuanced and pluralistic understanding of the revolution's causes, course and consequences, which the volumes reviewed here build upon.
