Culture and Society in Ireland since 1750: Essays in honour of Gearoid O Tuathaigh collects specially commissioned texts and essays to commemorate Gearoid O Tuathaigh's career as a distinguished academic and educator. Writing on many aspects of modern Irish history, culture and the Irish language, O Tuathaigh is best celebrated for his book Ireland before the Famine: 17981850, which remains one of the most important surveys of nineteenth-century Ireland. Contributions include essays on diverse subject-matters by leading scholars including Joep Leersen, Meidhbhin Ni Urdail, Cormac O Grada, Tom Dunne, and Owen Dudley Edwards. Niall O Ciosain and Micheal O Conghaile write on language and literature; Matthew Potter, Andrew Shields, Gerard Moran, Laurence Marley, John Cunningham, Tony Varley and Catriona Clear examine social and political issues; Una Ni Bhroimeil, Mary Harris, Meabh Ni Fhuarthain and James S. Donnelly Jr. explore cultural and religious identities. Thomas Bartlett, Thomas A. Boylan, Ciara Boylan, Gabriel Doherty and Maura Cronin look at institutions in state and society. J.J. Lee furnishes an introduction. Marie Boran and Margaret Hughes offer a bibliography of Gearoid O Tuathaigh's historical writings.
