✦ Synopsis

REVISED AND EXTENDED SECOND EDITION 'Rebellions is an autobiography, an astonishingly clear-sighted and lucid account of a tragic and disputed episode in Irish history and a polemic. The book's importance, originality and real value arise from the way the personal, the political and the scholarly are each offered as passionate witness and not separated. The rebellion of 1798 in Wexford and its two hundredth anniversary have found a brilliant and fearless chronicler. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the arguments about how the past cut deeply into the way we live in Irela.;Cover; Title Page; Dedication; Table of Contents; ILLUSTRATIONS; PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION; PROLOGUE : 'On Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant Slaney': Private Grief and the Public Sphere; PART I : The Historian: An Intellectual Memoir; CHAPTER 1 : The Child; CHAPTER 2 : The Christian Brother; CHAPTER 3 : University College Dublin; CHAPTER 4 : University College Cork and Cambridge; CHAPTER 5 : The Academic; PART II : Understanding 1798: Historiography, Commemoration; CHAPTER 6 : Histories of 1798: From Musgrave to Cullen; CHAPTER 7 : Commemoration: Comóradh '98.
