The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of
studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which
emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative
and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions
or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series
focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna-
tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the
world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the
first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more
senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic
focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature,
science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new
scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

 CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Daniel Sanjiv Roberts and Jonathan Jeffrey Wright

Among the many statues and memorials surrounding Belfast’s impressive

City Hall, “much the finest” (in the opinion of architectural historian
C. E. B. Brett) is that of the first Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, Frederick
Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood (1826–1902).1 Posing in full rega-
lia, which recall his distinguished career as a former Governor-General of
Canada and Viceroy of India (among other eminent posts), Lord Dufferin
is attended by two imperial subjects, a Canadian boatman seated on the
body of a moose, and a turbaned Sikh warrior, with a sword, seated on a
cannon (see the cover image for the latter). Though it is the imperial gran-
dee, Lord Dufferin, standing with insouciant ease, who is undoubtedly
meant to be the focus of attention, his attentive and unnamed attendants
are nonetheless, in their own way, finely realised portraits, their different
histories, geographies and ethnicities suggestive of the reach and power of
the empire. Their generally overlooked presence in the heart of Belfast,
alongside their imperial master (his statue, an adjunct to the more impos-
ing, though somewhat less successful, memorial to Queen Victoria,

Empress of India, in front of the City Hall) serves also to foreground the
thematic concern of the present volume—that of Ireland’s relationship
with the wider British Empire.
Viewed one way, the history of Ireland during the long period covered
by this collection (1775–1947) evokes a narrative characterised by the
gradual wresting of national self-determination, the overthrow of British
rule and the emergence of the modern nation. At the same time, however,
this period saw British imperial power reach its peak, before dramatically
declining in the post–Second World War era of de-colonisation. Hence, an
equally important and intertwined dimension of Ireland’s historical expe-
rience within this timeframe concerns its diffuse and multifaceted connec-
tions with the empire. Despite Ireland being formally recognised as a
kingdom in 1541, some Irish writers and politicians had, by the eigh-
teenth century, come to compare its treatment to that meted out to
Britain’s colonies. In the late seventeenth century William Molyneux pro-
tested, in his influential work, The Case of Ireland, Stated (1698), against
the notion that “Ireland is to be looked upon only as a Colony from
England.”2 But Molyneux’s protestation notwithstanding, Ireland’s par-
liament was rendered subservient to Westminster by the passage of the
Declaratory Act of 1720—subservient, that is, until 1782, when, against
the backdrop of imperial conflict in North America, parliamentary and
popular agitation in Ireland led Britain to concede the legislative indepen-
dence of the Irish parliament. Ireland’s experience of parliamentary inde-
pendence was, though, short-lived. Following the dramatic convulsions of
the 1790s in the wake of the American and French revolutions—reformist
and radical agitation, rebellion, counter-reaction and, in places, sectarian
blood-letting—the British government looked again at its relationship
with its sister kingdom and, on 1 January 1801, as is well known, Ireland
was subsumed within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
under the terms of the Act of Union.3
In theory, Ireland under the union was an equal partner in Britain’s
imperial enterprise; in reality, things were more complex. The union was,
as Alvin Jackson has noted, “incomplete.” Catholic Emancipation was not
granted until 1829 and “Ireland was ruled partly in colonial and partly in
metropolitan terms.” Thus, while political representatives were sent to
Westminster, a Lord Lieutenant resided in Dublin and, as was the case
elsewhere in the empire, elements of Irish bureaucracy, not least policing,
were “highly centralized.”4 Over the course of the nineteenth century,
Ireland’s perceived subservience to Britain would generate powerful calls
 1 INTRODUCTION 3

for reform and freedom. From repeal to Home Rule, O’Connell to Parnell,
and Young Ireland to the Fenians, the political narrative of nineteenth-­
century Ireland is well known.5 Yet against this backdrop, Ireland took its
place within the imperial order, despatching disproportionately high num-
bers of men (and later, increasingly, women) to serve in the colonies. “As
well as belonging to a colony at the heart of the British Empire,” Kevin
Kenny has written, “Irish people helped, conquer, populate, and govern
the colonies overseas.”6
The early years of the twentieth century would, of course, bring
Ireland’s independence. With the creation of the Free State in 1921, the
curtain fell on the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, rising
instead on the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
and in 1949 a further, formal distancing from empire on Ireland’s part
occurred, as it became a republic and left the Commonwealth. Such
attempts at distancing, though understandable in an emerging republic,
might be said, at a popular level, to have left a residue of imperial amne-
sia—that is, a tendency to overlook the imperial past of Ireland and the
Irish. This is particularly true of those whose careers, whether as soldiers
or administrators, contributed to the development of empire and whose
stories form, in Hiram Morgan’s words, “an uncomfortable Irish heri-
tage.”7 In recent years, however, this heritage has attracted increasing
scholarly attention. In his Ireland and Empire: Colonial Legacies in Irish
History and Culture, Stephen Howe has undertaken a sustained examina-
tion of “the ways in which the languages of imperialism, colonialism, post-
coloniality and anticolonialism have been deployed in Irish contexts,” and
a series of monographs and essay collections published within the last
twenty years has sought to shed light on the Irish men and women who
were active within the empire, to highlight connections between Irish and
Indian nationalists and, from a critical perspective, to apply the insights of
postcolonial and subaltern studies to Irish cultural productions.8 Such
work has served to raise a raft of important and often difficult questions
for the modern nation. Should we view Ireland as a colony? What role did
the Irish play in the oppression of other, now postcolonial, nations? And,
by contrast, to what extent did Ireland encourage or serve as an example
for other anti-colonial movements elsewhere in the empire? As for the
Irish themselves, how did they view empire as it applied to them? Was it
viewed as an opportunity or as a curse? Were the Anglo-Irish overseas
subsumed into Britishness by the empire or did they retain a distinctive
Irish side to their identity even as they went abroad? Did the bifurcated
4 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT

identities of Ireland—“native” and “settler,” Protestant and Catholic, loy-

alist and republican—manifest and perpetuate themselves in imperial con-
texts or were these irrelevant to the empire? If Ireland were to be considered
a colony, was its plight under British rule as abject as that of other colonies
which were judged to be racially “inferior,” or was it racially privileged as
white? And what of Irish migration: did it result in the loss or abandon-
ment of Irish identity, or in its enhancement and diversification overseas?
Such questions have prompted debate (at times heated) and generated
a series of valuable historical and cultural meditations in recent years. All
of these evidently antagonistic or exclusive positions have been plausibly
demonstrated under some sets of circumstances. Equally, none of these
questions has been entirely resolved in any absolute sense, though many
useful distinctions have been drawn and crucial ambiguities made mani-
fest. Fundamentally, it has become increasingly apparent through such
debates that Ireland’s constitutional status—and, indeed, its imperial sta-
tus—was inherently equivocal.9 This allowed for a range of attitudes to be
held, both by administrators and subjects. Furthermore, the regional, reli-
gious and ethnic divisions within Ireland, and the immense variety of
Britain’s overseas colonies and imperial relationships, necessitate a varie-
gated approach to empire, one that takes into consideration the specificity
of particular imperial contexts. With this in mind, the current volume
seeks to avoid the pitfalls of polarised debate and simplistic dichotomy,
instead embracing particularity, nuance and complexity. While some of the
contributors whose essays are presented in the pages that follow espouse
methodological and historiographical approaches informed by postcolo-
nial theory or the insights of the “new imperial history,” no single editorial
line has been imposed and the various case studies, close readings and
explorations gathered here have been informed by a plurality of method-
ological assumptions, often working in revealingly mutual ways.
Covering the period from the commencement of the American revolu-
tionary war in 1775 to the declaration of independence by India (the
“jewel in the crown” of Britain’s eastern empire10) in 1947, the chapters
that follow have been subdivided into four major thematic areas, though
each, as will be evident, overlaps in some respects with others. The open-
ing part, “Inhabiting Empire,” addresses the issue of emigration, an area
of obvious significance given the scale, diversity and continuity of Irish
outward migration throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twen-
tieth centuries. Although associated most strongly with the mid-­
nineteenth-­century famine in popular imagination and visual illustration,
 1 INTRODUCTION 5

emigration proceeded apace before and after the famine years, making the
Irish diaspora the largest of all European nations when taken over the
entire period. Although statistics are problematic, it has been estimated
that between 1820 and 1920 around 5 million migrated to the United
States alone, and that by 1890, 39% of all Irish-born people were living
abroad, variously adapting to and recreating anew their living environ-
ments wherever they went. As Roy Foster has commented pithily: “There
was, in a very real sense, an Ireland abroad.”11 Peter Ludlow and Terry
Murphy’s chapter on imperial Halifax—one of Britain’s most important
naval garrison cities by the mid-nineteenth century—provides a revealing
account of the largely Catholic (though partially mixed) Irish population
within the establishment of this multi-ethnic military and urban location.
Their chapter analyses the staggered “two-boat” or “three-boat” nature of
their passage and throws interesting light on their interactions with neigh-
bours and internecine disputes with coreligionists. What emerges most
distinctly, quite in opposition to stereotypical views of Irish sectarianism
and Irish Catholic unruliness, is the extent to which this pre-famine
migrant population can be seen, over the course of the nineteenth century,
to have played an energetic and well-integrated role in the development of
the city’s imperial institutions and character. Following this, Eve Patten’s
chapter, “From Enniskillen to Nairobi: the Coles in British East Africa,”
turns from urban history to the pioneer and plantation ethos cultivated by
an aristocratic Ulster family in former Rhodesia. Patten traces an intrigu-
ing connection from Ireland to British East Africa in the early twentieth
century, covering three of the children of the fourth Earl of Enniskillen
(Florence Cole, b. 1878; Galbraith Cole, b. 1881; and Berkeley Cole, b.
1882), who became pioneer settlers in British East Africa between the
1890s Protectorate and the 1920 establishment of the crown colony.
Their experiences, encountered through letters, memoirs and the work of
authors Karen Blixen and Llewelyn Powys, are perhaps idiosyncratic but
offer nonetheless an illumination of the complex position of Ulster-born
aristocrat imperialists, in relation to Irish national narratives on one hand,
and colonial settlement history on the other. The chapter hints at the ways
in which the Coles—Ireland’s “livestock barons of the Rift Valley,” as
described by Elspeth Huxley—saw events back home, from the Home
Rule crisis to the Rising, as bearing on the emergence of a modern Kenya,
and places their embryonic white-settler nationalism in ironic juxtaposi-
tion to their political views on Ireland’s revolutionary transition.
6 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT

The next two chapters within this section, one focusing on Australia
and the other returning to North America, examine through print culture
what might be called mythical or mediated views of Irish plight (and,
indeed, flight) in colonial outposts. In “Walking to China: Infatuation and
the Irish in New South Wales,” Killian Quigley examines the puzzling
phenomenon of Irish convict transportees to Australia who supposedly
attempted to escape to China on foot. Quigley considers these accounts
not with a view to explicating or resolving them, but in order to analyse
the discursive connections that are manifested in them regarding tropes of
infatuation, convict labour, Irishness and apparently pathological forms of
mobility. As Quigley argues, when observers commented that the would-
be China-bound travellers were engaged in undermining the colonial
­
enterprise, what they were describing was a form of resistance that was
oblique and uncertain but which bore comparison with colonial and anti-­
colonial movements across the globe. Martyn Powell’s chapter,
“Competing Narratives: White Slavery, Servitude and the Irish in Late-­
Eighteenth-­Century America,” examines how Irish servitude in America
after independence was uneasily aligned with slavery in the Irish and
American press. Powell’s chapter serves as an important reminder that
Ireland’s connections with British colonies would persist even after major
structural developments had occurred within the empire, developments
including the securing of American independence. The importance of
America as a destination for Irish migrants in the colonial period and,
again, in the nineteenth century is well known. However, as Powell shows,
the Irish continued to emigrate to North America in large numbers in the
years immediately following the American War of Independence and,
equally importantly, the former American colonies remained significant in
Irish political discourse. It is arguably the case, Powell’s discussion sug-
gests, that the conventional chronologies of colonisation and de-­
colonisation can obscure as much as they reveal. Here, and elsewhere in
the volume (as, for instance, in Raphaela Adjobimey’s discussion of
“mutiny ballads”), one becomes aware of just how malleable sympathy for
the colonial and racial “other” could be from an Irish point of view.
Examining various versions of Irish settler cultures from institutional and
personal records, and analysing the mythology and print cultures that they
generated, these chapters demonstrate the multifaceted and evolving
nature of the Irish diaspora within the empire.
Part II, “Writing/Imagining Empire,” gathers three chapters, two dis-
cussing literary production and one on the writing of history, specifically the
 1 INTRODUCTION 7

history of Belfast, which emerged as a leading imperial city during the

nineteenth century. Here, issues of print culture flow into broader con-
cerns relating to the production of imperial histories and literatures. An
influential study on this subject indebted obviously to Edward Said’s land-
mark work, Orientalism (1978), was Joseph Lennon’s book Irish
Orientalism: A Literary and Intellectual History (2004). Lennon’s work
investigated a long genealogy in Irish writing from the medieval period
into the mid-twentieth century, with roots in classical tradition, that found
affinities between Ireland and the Oriental world. Such affinities would
acquire resonant political connotations via the construction of Celticism
over the nineteenth century as Britain’s empire expanded eastwards.
Located in this broad context, Daniel S. Roberts’s chapter, “‘Humble
Obedience to the Will of Heaven’: Charles Johnston’s Providential and
Migratory Sensibility,” foregrounds continuities between the novelist
Johnston’s narrative technique—which typically portrayed objects and
people circulating in the empire—and the writer’s own sensibility as a
migrant and an Irishman. Roberts demonstrates a continuity between
Johnston’s providential theology, derived from the works of Irish
Enlightenment philosophers George Berkeley and Robert Clayton, and
his fictional writings published in Britain and in India. Also drawing upon
Enlightenment ideas for its analysis of a fictional work (and concentrating
upon themes of identity and circulation), Sonja Lawrenson’s chapter,
“Prudence and Prejudice in Maria Edgeworth’s ‘Murad the Unlucky’
(1804),” issues a useful gender corrective to Lennon’s influential study of
“Irish Orientalism,” the Celtic-Oriental affinity developed in antiquarian
discourse of the eighteenth century. Highlighting the relatively neglected
aspect of gender politics within this discourse, Lawrenson places
Edgeworth’s Oriental fable in the context of competing theories of iden-
tity and exchange, arguing that Edgeworth ultimately relinquishes
Edmund Burke’s traditional and conservative model of cultural inheri-
tance in favour of an extension of Adam Smith’s concept of free commer-
cial exchange. Despite wide differences in style, Johnston and Edgeworth,
from these readings, show interesting discursive similarities, drawing on
Irish Orientalism and Enlightenment thinking while veering between con-
servative theories of imperialism and those based on liberal ideas of com-
mercial exchange.
Fiction is, of course, only one form of literary production, and Jonathan
Jeffrey Wright’s essay, “‘A work purely local?’: Narratives of Empire in
George Benn’s History of the Town of Belfast,” focuses on another form of
8 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT

literary production—the writing of history. Its subject, George Benn, was

a nineteenth-century historian of Belfast, whose major work, his two-­
volume History, published in 1870 and 1880, remains influential to this
day. While a superficial reading of this text would suggest it is a limited,
local history, with little to interest the historian of empire, Wright here
reveals, and explores the significance of, a series of references to empire
and imperial dynamics that appear in the work. In so doing he establishes
Benn’s History as a work that reflects both the historic realities of Belfast,
a town with numerous connections to empire, and the ways in which an
awareness of empire shaped Benn’s thinking.
Part III, “Resistance/Collusion,” returns to the vexed question of
Ireland’s complicity in, and opposition to, Britain’s treatment of its
empire’s “others.” Two chapters here, both literary in orientation, focus
on a key moment of native resistance, the so-called Indian “Mutiny” of
1857,12 which saw Indian troops (“sepoys”), supported by civilian popula-
tions, across the North and East of India, rebelling against the rule of the
East India Company. By contrast, the third looks at radical connections
between Ireland and India during the 1930s and beyond. The Indian
uprising of 1857 posed the greatest crisis faced by the empire since the
American War of Independence, resulting in widespread horror and dis-
quiet amongst the metropolitan public, and prompting the reconstitution
of British rule in India from Westminster. Ireland’s disproportionately
high contribution to the East India Company Army—estimated at 50% of
its white soldiers13—meant that Irish interest in India ran deep, spawning
media reports as well as references to the mutiny in sermons and popular
literature. Unpublished materials in the form of correspondence and jour-
nals from India during the mutiny are also available in various archives.14
Yet the dispersal of such archives in locations across Britain and India, and
the often unidentified nature of Irish involvement, has led to a relative
neglect of such materials from a specifically Irish point of view.15 Raphaela
Adjobimey’s chapter, “The 1857 Indian Uprising in Irish Ballads: Voices
of the Subaltern,” provides valuable service in identifying and analysing
representations of the mutiny in songs and ballads of the Irish broadside
tradition preserved in archives. These orally circulated ballads, as
Adjobimey argues, provide us with unique access to public opinion
amongst those members of Irish society whose voices, if heard at all, are
perceived as faint echoes in contemporary published accounts. As she sug-
gests, responses to the uprising were diverse and mutable, ranging from
solidarity with the sepoys and their cause to the lamentation of Irish
 1 INTRODUCTION 9

v­ ictims and the condemnation of the rebels and, by extension, all Indians.
Furthermore, closer examination reveals an inflection of Irish political
interests running through this corpus, demonstrating the way in which
India could serve as a canvas for the projection of Irish causes, signalling
on occasion calls for independence, and at other times loyalty to Britain
and its empire. Taking a slightly different approach, Pramod K. Nayar’s
chapter, “Afghanistan, the Indian ‘Mutiny’, and the Bicultural Stereotype
of John Nicholson,” examines constructions of imperial heroism sur-
rounding the figure of the Lisburn-born soldier, John Nicholson, whose
death in the siege of Delhi in 1857 was followed by widespread literary
and biographical commemoration of his valour. Arguing that such con-
structions drew upon his typecasting in subcontinental terms as much as
in Irish terms, Nayar analyses three such stereotypes attaching to
Nicholson’s posthumous reputation: that of the “redemptive character”
who has come to terms with the trauma of his earlier military involve-
ments; that of the “avenging hero” whose excesses are an appropriate
response to the horrors of the mutiny; and that of the co-opted and “cre-
olized figure” whose savage ideas of justice equate with those imputed to
the military races (Sikh and Afghan) recognised by the Raj.
Turning from literary considerations to political history, the final chap-
ter in Part III, “Violent Resistance: The Irish Revolution and India” by
Kate O’Malley, looks at the impact of the revolutionary phase in Ireland
on Indian nationalism, focusing on the Chittagong uprising of 1930 and
Subhas Chandra Bose’s revolutionary activities over the period of the
Second World War, to suggest the importance of Irish influence on these
events. Although the Indian national movement is widely remembered in
the popular imagination as a largely peaceful one thanks to Gandhi’s pow-
erfully influential aspiration for it—creating an idealised vision of the free-
dom movement that was swiftly commemorated by the newly formed
nation—the reality of Indian nationalism prior to its successful outcome
(and overlooking the violence of partition) was, in reality, a far more frag-
mented and involved process, often espousing explicitly violent means.
O’Malley’s excavation of the multilayered process by which recollections
of the 1916 Easter uprising were channelled by Surya Sen, the leader of
the Chittagong uprising, into his own revolutionary message and model
for activism, and her detailing of Bose’s Irish influences and friendships,
provide an important insight into some of the lesser-known undercurrents
that flowed between the two nationalist movements. Though separated by
nearly a century, the events surrounding the 1857 mutiny (retrospectively
10 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT

labelled by the Indian freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Sarvakar as

India’s “first war of independence”) and the acquisition of Indian indepen-
dence in 1947 are similarly revealed through literature and political history
alike to be susceptible to revisionary impulses that colour representations
of these major occurrences, feeding into the dominant cultural versions of
national histories. Historical approaches based on the evidences of personal
correspondence and connections, as well as literary approaches based on
discursive analysis of stereotypes and representations, are both shown in
these chapters to be mutually rewarding in deconstructing and recon-
structing the complexities of political sympathy between Ireland and India.
The final part of this volume focuses on Irish “networks” of the empire,
that is, the structures of interconnectedness that enabled the trade and
movement of people and objects not only between metropolitan and
peripheral locations, but also between colonies and imperial peripheries.
Linked in many ways to the diasporic theme with which the volume opens,
the concept of imperial networks, developed in the context of the “new
imperial history,” offers us, as Barry Crosbie has suggested in his study
focused on networks between Ireland and India in the nineteenth century,
a useful methodological tool with which to approach “the range and scope
of connections” that linked the empire together and “evade the narrowly
national focus of earlier (and very limited) accounts of Ireland’s imperial
role.”16 In the first of these chapters, “The O’Rourke Family of French
Saint-Domingue (1780–1804): Irish Merchant Planters during the Age of
Revolution,” Orla Power examines the role and fate of Irish landowners
and merchants in the Caribbean in the wake of the American and French
revolutions. Focusing on the prosperous O’Rourke brothers from Co.
Wexford, Patrick and Edward, who had established themselves on the
island of French Saint-Domingue, Power traces, through family corre-
spondence, their rise to affluence in the American revolutionary period
and their loss of fortunes following the French and Haitian revolutions of
1789 and 1791, respectively. Exiled from Saint-Domingue, members of
the family sought refuge in France, Ireland, London and Baltimore
through their family connections and later experienced the rebellion of
1798 in Wexford. Power’s reading of the family correspondence through
these various revolutionary moments across the Atlantic World recreates
for us what Emma Rothschild has termed in her study of the Scottish
Johnstone family, the “Inner Life” of empire.17
Turning from the commercial world to that of medicine and medical
funding, the two concluding chapters of the volume examine the ways in
 1 INTRODUCTION 11

which imperial structures could enable professional advancement and

could be used for gender outreach as well. Jennifer McLaren’s chapter,
“An Irish Surgeon in Barbados and Demerara: Vexation, Misery and
Opportunity,” considers how John Crawford, a Co. Antrim doctor, nego-
tiated his career, working on East India Company ships, moving to
Barbados for several years, working in Essequibo and Demerara and finally
settling in Baltimore in North America. His example of working across
British and Dutch colonies in the Caribbean shows not only how imperial
networks could enable and mobilise medical careers, but also how the
physical boundaries of the empire could be porous, allowing for transfer-
ences between European imperial powers. Finally, Sarah Hunter’s chapter,
“‘Colouring the Map Red’: Lady Hariot Dufferin and the Imperial
Networks of the Dufferin Fund,” examines the records of “The National
Association for Supplying Female Medical Aid to the Women of India,”
better known as the Dufferin Fund, to examine how Lady Dufferin used
imperial networks to establish her Fund on a national footing, breaking
with social conventions and extending philanthropism into the inner
spaces of female domesticity in India, particularly into the hitherto
unreachable zenana. Returning to issues of gender raised in the earlier
chapter by Lawrenson, Hunter’s essay shows how women, despite their
marginality in the empire, could not only imagine and write about but also
participate in, reshape and extend the parameters of the empire.
As has already been noted, this collection does not seek to offer a sim-
plified or unitary version of Ireland’s engagement with the empire. Its
varied contributions do, however, reflect major thematic preoccupations
and suggest modes of understanding that may be applied to Ireland’s
imperial experience. During the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, Britain’s empire was, for the Irish, a political and geographical
environment to be lived in, moved within, written about and imagined; it
was a reality that could be supported or resisted, or that could be utilised
and negotiated, using the varied networks that existed within it. Wars and
revolutions; the legislative frameworks of trade and commerce; the forma-
tion of new colonies, urban centres and travel routes; and the philosophi-
cal ideas of the Enlightenment: all played their part in the growth of
empire, and all were entangled inextricably in the experiences and think-
ing of Irish people whose responses to empire were multifarious.
Consequently, attention both to individual circumstances and historical
context is necessary in order to fully understand the variegated nature of
Ireland’s imperial experience; neither on its own will suffice. Though the
12 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT

chapters in this book are separated into parts that display obvious thematic
similarities, readers are invited to consider these chapters as interacting
with each other in ways that could appeal to other interconnected and
cross-fertilising critical and historical interests. Issues of race, gender, class,
religious belief, political ideology, intellectual and historical understand-
ing, chronology and geography run through the volume, allowing for
many such correlations. Furthermore, these chapters offer a wide range of
exemplary case studies, discursive analyses and historical, literary and his-
toriographical reflections on Ireland and the empire. Taken together, they
serve as a salutary reminder of Ireland’s shared political experience and
development under the aegis of the British Empire at a time when rela-
tions between North and South are fraught with fears of a renewed rift in
the form of a “hard border” between the regions.
