Summary
"In the 1830s, as Britain navigated political reform to stave off instability and social unrest, Ireland became increasingly influential in determining British politics. This book is the first to chart the importance that Irish agrarian violence--instances of which were known as 'outrages'--played in shaping how the 'decade of reform' unfolded. It argues that while Whig politicians attempted to incorporate Ireland fully into the political union to address long-standing grievances, Conservative politicians and media outlets focussed on Irish outrages to stymie political change. Jay R. Roszman brings to light the ways that a wing of the Conservative Party, which included many Anglo-Irish, set Irish violence in the context of a wider imperial framework, stressing the ways in which outrages threatened the Union and with it the wider empire. Using underutilised sources, the book also reassesses the ways in which Irish people interpreted 'everyday' agrarian violence in pre-Famine society, suggesting that many people perpetuated outrages to assert popularly conceived notions of justice against the imposition of British sovereignty."--half-title page.
