Reviews

Reviews 'An important contribution to the corpus of scholarship on secret societies, violence and politics in nineteenth-century Ireland.' Jay R. Roszman, Irish Historical Studies 'Hughes and MacRaild's study on Ribbonism is to be commended for recalibrating our gaze towards these too often neglected decades, and years, and the lower class voices which filled them.' Kerron O Luain, Dublin Review of Books 'A thorough excavation of not just the perceptions of Ribbonism but also the workings of the official mind in Dublin Castle during the first few decades of the nineteenth century.' John O'Donovan, Irish Studies Review 'This is an excellent study, meticulously researched and lucidly written. The considerable detail adds to the interest and value of the work by opening up avenues for further research into this elusive and yet very real world of Irish subversives transnationally in the nineteenth century.' Maura Cronin, Studia Hibernica
