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...
