Immerse yourself in the rich history and cultural significance of the Irish pub, from its humble beginnings in the 17th century to its modern incarnation as a global phenomenon. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the Irish pub, from experts in multiple disciplines – history, sociology, architecture, interior design, psychology, literature, music, performing arts, business and more – exploring the intricate tapestry of the Irish pub.

From its evolution and the myriad forces shaping it, the book takes you on a journey from the taverns, inns, and alehouses of the 17th and 18th centuries, through the commercialisation of the drinks industry, to the modern pubs of today. It investigates the active human engagement behind the creation and evolution of the Irish pub, challenging the notion of a static ’traditional’ pub and emphasising its dynamism and diversity. This book also uncovers the under-examined aspects of Ireland’s history, such as gender, migration, and multiculturalism, in the context of its pub culture. It examines the Irish pub’s role as a community resource, a literary phenomenon, a social driver, and a global commodity. It also speculates about the future of the Irish pub and advocates for its re-invention as a more inclusive and creative space.

This is the first full-length academic treatment of the Irish pub phenomenon, offering a profound understanding of its historic, literary, political, business, sociological, and psychological dimensions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish culture, pub culture, or the complex interplay between social space and cultural identity.

Find out why preserving these institutions is essential for the future of Irish cultural heritage.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Ierse Revolutie

Discover how Irish revolutionaries transformed their independence struggle into a global diplomatic campaign (1919-1923). Through innovative public diplomacy and diaspora mobilisation, they developed strategies for small nations to influence world affairs. This pioneering study locates the struggle within the context of post-war settlements as Irish republicans sought to shape international relations.

It is often forgotten that leaders of the Irish Revolution considered the domestic and international campaigns for Irish independence to be organically linked. Focusing on this dimension can relocate the Irish struggle in its original and fullest context.

This collection of essays follows the activities of Irish envoys abroad over four years as they defended the right of Dáil Éireann to self-determination and lobbied for its recognition in the capitals of Europe and the British Commonwealth, as well as in the United States. The global impact of Terence MacSwiney’s hunger strike protest is highlighted, as well as the important role played by Catholic networks, disapora activists and women volunteers.

By reconsidering its international dimension, this book locates the Irish Revolution within an appropriate background of post-war settlements that were not only contested but also remained comparatively fluid. Cultural repercussions of the Irish struggle are also examined at a time of growing international debate about small, emergent states and the existence of contested state boundaries arising from the upending of the old international order caused by the First World War.
