The Invisible Irish
Author: Rankin SherlingPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773597972
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
In spite of the many historical studies of Irish Protestant migration to America in the eighteenth century, there is a noted lack of study in the transatlantic migration of Irish Protestants in the nineteenth century. The main hindrance in rectifying this gap has been finding a method with which to approach a very difficult historiographical problem. The Invisible Irish endeavours to fill this blank spot in the historical record. Rankin Sherling imaginatively uses the various bits of available data to sketch the first outline of the shape of Irish Presbyterian migration to America in the nineteenth century. Using the migration of Irish Presbyterian ministers as "tracers" of a larger migration, Sherling demonstrates that eighteenth-century migration of Protestants reveals much about the completely unknown nineteenth-century migration. An original and creative blueprint of Irish Presbyterian migration in the nineteenth century, The Invisible Irish calls into question many of the assumptions that the history of Irish migration to America is built upon.
Frederick Douglass and Ireland
Author: Christine KinealyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351211099
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
Frederick Douglass spent four months in Ireland at the end of 1845 that proved to be, in his own words, ‘transformative’. He reported that for the first time in his life he felt like a man, and not a chattel. Whilst in residence, he became a spokesperson for the abolition movement, but by the time he left the country in early January 1846, he believed that the cause of the slave was the cause of the oppressed everywhere. This book adds new insight into Frederick Douglass and his time in Ireland. Contemporary newspaper accounts of the lectures that Douglass gave during his tour of Ireland (in Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, and Belfast) have been located and transcribed. The speeches are annotated and accompanied by letters written by Douglass during his stay. In this way, for the first time, we hear Douglass in his own words. This unique approach allows us to follow the journey of the young man who, while in Ireland, discovered his own voice.
The Irish Presbyterian Mind
Author: Andrew R. HolmesPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192512226
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The Irish Presbyterian Mind considers how one protestant community responded to the challenges posed to traditional understandings of Christian faith between 1830 and 1930. Andrew R. Holmes examines the attitudes of the leaders of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland to biblical criticism, modern historical method, evolutionary science, and liberal forms of protestant theology. He explores how they reacted to developments in other Christian traditions, including the so-called 'Romeward' trend in the established Churches of England and Ireland and the 'Romanisation' of Catholicism. Was their response distinctively Presbyterian and Irish? How was it shaped by Presbyterian values, intellectual first principles, international denominational networks, identity politics, the expansion of higher education, and relations with other Christian denominations? The story begins in the 1830s when evangelicalism came to dominate mainstream Presbyterianism, the largest protestant denomination in present-day Northern Ireland. It ends in the 1920s with the exoneration of J. E. Davey, a professor in the Presbyterian College, Belfast, who was tried for heresy on accusations of being a 'modernist'. Within this timeframe, Holmes describes the formation and maintenance of a religiously-conservative intellectual community. At the heart of the interpretation is the interplay between the Reformed theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith and a commitment to common evangelical principles and religious experience that drew protestants together from various denominations. The definition of conservative within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland moved between these two poles and could take on different forms depending on time, geography, social class, and whether the individual was a minister or a member of the laity.
Black Abolitionists in Ireland
Author: Christine KinealyPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003859925
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Building on the narratives explored in volume one, this publication recovers the story of a further seven Black visitors to Ireland in the decades prior to the American Civil War. This volume examines each of these seven activists and artists, and how their unique and diverse talents contributed to the movement to abolish enslavement and to the demand for Black equality. In an era that witnessed the rise of minstrelsy, they provided a powerful counter argument to the lie of Black inferiority. Moreover, their interactions with Irish abolitionists helped to build a strong transatlantic movement that had a global reach and impact. The lives explored are: Ira Aldridge (the African Roscius), William Henry Lane (Master Juba), William P. Powell, Elizabeth Greenfield (the Black Swan), Reuben Nixon, James Watkins and William H. Day. Individually and collectively they demonstrated the agency and power of Black involvement in the search for social justice. This book will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in modern European history and social and cultural history.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and Biographical Notices of Eminent Presbyterian Ministers and Laymen: With the Signification of Names of Places The greater part of the information contained in the work now presented to the public, was collected by the Rev. J. S. Reid, D.D., before his appointment as Professor of Ecclesiastical and Civil History in the University of Glasgow. For the twenty years preceding, his attention had been specially directed to the rise and progress of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland; and he had enjoyed special facilities for becoming acquainted with its condition. He had travelled through most parts of our Northern Province; had gathered up the traditions of the Presbyterian inhabitants; had carefully examined the manuscript records of the Synod of Ulster; and had noted down, in a little volume which he usually carried about with him, every important fact or date which helped to guide him in his investigations. Shortly after his decease, I undertook, at the request of his executors, to complete his unfinished History; and this manuscript book was put into my hands to assist me in the work. I found that it contained a brief account of the congregations of the Synod of Ulster, arranged in alphabetical order; and as, for many reasons, it appeared very undesirable that the rare knowledge it supplied should be lost to the public, I suggested to the proprietor of M'Comb's Presbyterian Almanac that he should permit me to introduce some extracts from it, year after year, into his well-known annual. He adopted the advice; and thus it has been that for upwards of thirty years past these notices have been continued in that publication. They are now collected together; and, with not a few additions, are to be found in the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
