Treason or Revolution?: The Politics of Commemoration of the 1798 Irish Rebellion

Yeonmin Kim
Professor of the Department of English Language and Literature at Chonnam National University

Abstract

This study aims to shed new light on the 1798 Irish Rebellion by examining the subjects, periods, and commemorative perspectives that have generated interpretive conflicts and disputes. First, it analyzes how Catholic nationalists, Protestant unionists, and radical republicans used the memory of 1798 to articulate and legitimize their political identities. Second, it adopts a diachronic perspective to trace changes in modes of remembrance across three key periods: the early to mid-nineteenth century, the late nineteenth century, and the early to mid-twentieth century. Third, it investigates the memory wars surrounding the bicentennial commemorations, in which revisionist and new historicist historiographies clashed over competing interpretations of the past and divergent visions of Ireland’s future.
