Reviews'Hilarly Larkin's book is more than a history of Ireland under the Union. It is in many respects a history of the Union, and she ranges with confidence over cultural, social and political events in Britain as well as in Ireland. She adds her own judgements to her impressive familiarity with and synthesis of recent historiography.' -Michael Laffan, University College Dublin School of History and Archives, 'Hilarly Larkin's book is more than a history of Ireland under the Union.

SynopsisIreland from 1800 to 1922 was a veritable theatre of political and civic disorder. This study seeks to integrate this sensational and often tragically scarred story with other more expansive historical narratives involving cultural, social and technological change., The years of Ireland's union with Great Britain are most often regarded as a period of great turbulence and conflict. And so they were. But there are other stories too, and these need to be integrated in any account of the period. Ireland's progressive primary education system is examined here alongside the Famine; the growth of a happily middle-class Victorian suburbia is taken into account as well as the appalling Dublin slum statistics. In each case, neither story stands without the other. This study synthesises some of the main scholarly developments in Irish and British historiography and seeks to provide an updated and fuller understanding of the debates surrounding nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history.
