Irish Historical Documents Since 1800 is another addition to Gill and Macmillan's well established reference publishing in Irish Studies, which already includes successful and widely acclaimed volumes in history, biography and literature. The book reproduces the texts of the most important documents and speeches in the course of Irish history from 1800 to the present day. Among the documents reproduced are the Ulster Solemn League and Covenant of 1912 which formed the basis of the Ulster Unionist resistance to Home Rule, a campaign which eventually resulted in the establishment of Northern Ireland; the Proclamation of the Republic of Ireland at the time of the Easter Rebellion of 1916; the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922; the manifesto of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association of 1968; and the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. In addition to these major texts, the book will also contain material such as the Fenian proclamation of 1867; letters from lords lieutenant and other government officials in the nineteenth century; and contemporary documents from the Famine which tell graphically of the human and social cost of that huge tragedy. Irish Historical Documents Since 1800 is an essential reference tool for all students and researchers in modern Irish history.
