HC 841 - From Eire to Ireland–Irish History 1600-19223 credits
This course has two purposes: to provide a broad overview of the major historical developments in Ireland from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century, and to introduce students to the historiographical debates that shape the study of modern Irish history. We will read about and discuss pivotal moments in Irish history during this time period, trying to understand what the primary agents of historical change in the country were, and what variable factors might have allowed the country’s history to follow a different path. We will also study how Irish historians have portrayed these events, how they have constructed their arguments, and ask what can we learn from Irish historiography that will make us all better historians.
