Book synopsis

This collection of essays addresses the neglect of masculinities as sites of historical enquiry in Irish history, with essays ranging in focus from the eighteenth century to contemporary history. Through the range of interdisciplinary analyses from eighteenth to twenty-first century history, literary studies, cultural history and sociology, the authors map out new insights that the study of masculinities can bring to our understanding of Ireland's troubled history. In doing so, they augment existing historical studies of masculinities in their respective time-period specialisms. Contributors address the myriad ways in which expressions, concerns, and contemplations of masculinities have been central to the history of Ireland. Despite the earlier indifference and often hostility to questions of masculinities, the increasing number of investigations of men as gendered beings in Irish history demonstrates the potential that this paradigm, with its interdisciplinary angles and contemporary resonances, offers for exploring Ireland's past.
