I am indebted to the encouragement of both men. My greatest debt though is to the new generation of modern Irish scholars—friends like George Boyce, Roy Foster, and Henry Patterson have sustained the project. My close colleagues Richard English, Alvin Jackson, Margaret O’Callaghan, and Graham Walker were marvellous supports. The graduate students in this department were a frequent source of insight. I am particularly grateful to Peter Semple; Enda Staunton; Keith Sweeney and Stephen Day; it is a pleasure here to salute Dr Patrick Maume, an outstanding emergent talent. Fergus Campbell, Noel Dorr, Michael Foy, Tom Garvin, Keith Haines, Tom Hennessy, Desmond Keenan, Peter Leppard, Garret FitzGerald, Alan O’Day, David Trimble, and George Woodman were most helpful at key points. Arthur Green read an early manuscript version and commented perceptively. Johathan Parry helped me to understand the British Liberal context. Adrian Guelke inspired both by his scholarship and personal courage. The text has been more fun to write because of the increasing interest of my wife, Greta Jones, in Irish history. ‘The book is dedicated to the memory of two eminent scholars in the field of Irish Studies, Professor Frank Wright and Dr Denis J. Clarke who both died in 1g93. Frank Wright was an outstanding student of ethnic conflict while Denis Clarke was one the great historians of Irish America. They will be sorely missed.
