Reviews
Catholics of Consequence is an interesting and thoughtful book, remote from the characteristic dullness of school histories. The author brings a reflective intelligence to his work, linking the detail of his subject to broader historical and cultural questions. Maurice Earls, Dublin Review of Books Catholics of Consequence offers a rich tapestry of pedagogical patterns and parental attitudes and behaviors that both defined and defied the norms of the time, and he admirably expands our knowledge of a distinctive socio-economic and political power-base in later nineteenth-century Ireland. We members of the Donnelly Prize Committee heartily congratulate Ciaran O'Neill on producing a work that will stimulate renewed interest and fresh scholarship on the provocative and intertwined subjects of class and education at a pivotal juncture in Ireland's modern history. James S. Donnelly Prize Committee An important contribution to the social history of Ireland. It is a fascinating study of how a cross section of the Irish elite functioned, and the efforts of religious orders to secure the elite in its position in Irish society... Oliver Rafferty, Journal of Jesuit Studies O'Neill uncovers a rich world of transnational social mobility and ambition, and in so doing he brings to life an almost entirely neglected but important stratum of nineteenth-century Irish society. This is a historiographically innovative book. It is built on deep archival research and a sound grasp of the relevant secondary and theoretical literature. Senia Paseta, Social History a very significant work ... this is an outstanding work of scholarship. Tom O'Donoghue, History of Education

Tom O'Donoghue, History of Education [pays] welcome attention to quantitative data that carries it well beyond the familiar detailing of specific educational institutions.
