About this ebook
Professor Tom Garvin’s classic work studies the growth of nationalism in Ireland from the middle of the eighteenth century to modern times.
It traces the continuity of tradition from earlier organisations, such as the United Irishmen and the agrarian Ribbonmen of the eighteenth century, through the followers of Daniel O’Connell, the Fenians and the Land League in the nineteenth century to the Irish political parties of today, including Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Labour Party and Fine Gael.
The dual nature of Irish nationalism is shown in sharp focus. Despite the secular and liberal leanings of many Irish leaders and theoreticians, their followers were frequently sectarian and conservative in social outlook. This book demonstrates how this dual legacy has influenced the politics of modern Ireland.

Reviews for The Evolution of Irish Nationalist Politics
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my personal favourite of Garvin's books that I have. He performs an analysis of how the current Irish party system came into being, supported with statistical analysis, and comparative analysis with other similar countries. He goes right back to the time of fenianism and ribbonism and assesses the role of the IRB and then looks at the success of Sinn Féin post 1916. There is a very interesting comparative analysis of the memberships of Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin and discussion about the development of these and other parties.
