Abstract "When first published, Alvin Jackson's Ireland 1798-1998 received widespread critical acclaim for its analytical, sceptical and humane view of modern Irish history. Jackson's re-evaluation of the field, exploration of the varieties of Irish political experience, and his particular attention to the (often highly productive) tension between nationalism and Unionism continue to stand as an impressive achievement. Now in its third edition, Ireland 1798-1998 has been updated to include coverage of the most recent political developments, including the Scottish independence and Brexit referendums. It will cover the recent Decade of Centenaries' in Ireland which spans from 2012 through to 2022 with a succession of key anniversaries in the formation of the independent Irish state. It continues to offer readers an elegantly written, accessible and impartial interpretation of modern Irish political history, providing fresh and perceptive insights into some familiar issues and personalities of the period. With an updated bibliography and chronology, Ireland 1798-1998 remains a highly stimulating and influential survey of over 200 years of Irish history"-- Provided by publisher.
