SET TEXTS
The following two texts should be purchased from the bookshop.
Ferriter, Diarmaid, (2004), The Transformation of Ireland 1900-2000 London.
Jackson, Alvin, Ireland, 1798-1998 (Oxford, 1999).
 
The following are all very good general histories and are worth reading as background.
 
Boyce, D.G., Nineteenth-century Ireland: The Search for Stability (Dublin, 1990). This is a good general text.
Foster, R.F., Modern Ireland 1600-1972 (London, 1988). This is worth acquiring. It still offers a controversial view on Irish history.
Hoppen, K.T., Ireland Since 1800: Conflict and Conformity (London, 1989). This is a very good textbook and covers social, economic and political issues.
Keogh, D., Twentieth Century Ireland. Nation and State (Dublin, 1994).

The following list, arranged under general headings, is for those of you who would like to delve a little deeper into the various topics which will be covered on this course.
