An Irish-Speaking Island: State, Religion, Community, And The Linguistic Landscape In Ireland, 1770–1870 (History Of Ireland & The Irish Diaspora)

This groundbreaking book shatters historical stereotypes, demonstrating that, in the century before 1870, Ireland was not an anglicized kingdom and was capable of articulating modernity in the Irish language. It gives a dynamic account of the complexity of Ireland in the nineteenth century, developments in church and state, and the adaptive bilingualism found across all regions, social levels, and religious persuasions.
