In this book, Richard Kirkland brings together elements in Irish London’s culture and history that had previously only been understood separately or indeed largely overlooked (as in the case of women’s’ contributions to London Irish politics and culture). In particular, Kirkland makes resonant cultural connections between Irish and cockney performers in the music halls, Irish trade fairs, temperance marches, the Fenian dynamite war of the 1880s, St Patrick’s Day events, and the later cultural agitation of revivalists such as W.B.

Irish London: A Cultural History 1850–1916 is both a significant contribution to our understanding of Irish emigrant communities in London at this time and an insightful case study for the comparative fields of cultural history and urban migration studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50525915513105,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50525916725521,"sku":"GOR013011847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687518105873,"sku":"NLS9781350230057","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1350230057.jpg?v=1751466361"},{"product_id":"cathal-obyrne-and-the-northern-revival-in-ireland-1890-1960-book-richard-kirkland-9781846310454","title":"Cathal OByrne and the Northern Revival in Ireland 1890-1960","description":"In this fascinating book, Richard Kirkland explores the history of Northern Ireland through the biography of oneof its most unusual and talented performers - the legendary musician, IRA activist, poet, and Catholic mystic, Cathal O'Byrne. Both gay and Catholic in Protestant-dominated Northern Ireland, O'Byrne's circle of friends included the renowned human rights campaigner Roger Casement, the activist Maud Gonne, and the leader of the Easter Rising of 1916, Patrick Pearse. Despite his outsider status, O'Byrne's work was indicative of major shifts in public opinion, as he moved from Home Rule politics to an eventual commitment to arms during the Irish War of Independence. Kirkland uses the story of O'Byrne's life to delve into that of his colleagues during the Northern Irish cultural revival, making illuminating connections between the Ulster Literary Theatre, Belfast's music hall culture, the Casement trial and the devastating Belfast anti-Catholic pogroms of 1920 and 1921, for example. Just as importantly, Kirkland brings to light the hidden history of gay Belfast and the fate of Northern Ireland's Catholics in this previously neglected period after Partition but before the Troubles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51495958544657,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51495958708497,"sku":"GOR010668001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1846310458.jpg?v=1751313393"},{"product_id":"irish-london-book-richard-kirkland-9781350133181","title":"Irish London","description":"Winner of the 2022 British Association of Irish Studies (BAIS) Book Prize  In the years following the Irish Famine (1845–52), London became one of the cities of Ireland.
