Reviews

'Based on much original research, this well written and very readable work is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the nationalist press and its central role in Irish political life over the period in question, making it a worthy contribution to the literature.' Mark O'Brien Reviews 'An original contribution to the historiography of Irish nationalism and press history in Ireland.' Michael Foley 'The political awareness and thirst for knowledge of the lower classes can be glossed over by historians. Andrews has done us a service by redressing this imbalance in a fine and thoughtful book.' History, The Journal of the Historical Association
