Aims

• Introduction to the advanced study of aspects of the inter-relationship between Britain and Ireland, from the period of the 1789 rebellion to the present.

Content

Major topics can include aspects of the political, social and religious history of the two countries, but the module could, alternatively, concentrate on the micro-history of a particular Irish region, covering several aspects simultaneously.
