Reviews
This book will reinvigorate a literature that has wanted for vim since the days when Oliver MacDonagh and R.B McDowell sketched the outline of British and Irish governement and administration. It deserves to be bought by many and read by more. * Ciaran O'Neill, Times Literary Supplement *
O Ciosain's book is an important contribution to the literature. It demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary methods and lays out a number of exciting new departures for the study of the role of the state in nineteenth-century Ireland. * Richard Torpin, Irish Studies Review *
Ireland in Official Print Culture is a strong addition to the field of historical research and a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish Studies. * Eugene O'Brien, SHARP News *
O Ciosain's analysis of the massive documentation is determinedly innovative, and yields many stimulating ideas ... O Ciosain benefits from the wealth of the evidence relating to the nineteenth-century enquiries. In turn, though, the voluminous documentation has benefited from the rigour and scepticism with which he has reinterpreted it. * T.C. Barnard, English Historical Review *
