| Summary: | "This book analyses those Irish Protestants who, between 1900 and 1923, eschewed the unionist views typically held by their co-religionists, and played an active role in the advanced nationalist movement. This book has three overarching themes. The first is motivation. This book assesses the formative influences that caused a minority to reject unionism for nationalism. It charts the tendency for Protestant nationalists to form self-perpetuating networks of activists, where individuals forged alliances that allowed them to repudiate the views of Protestant unionists. Secondly, this book details the extent of Protestant involvement in, and influence on, Irish nationalism. It seeks to uncover the extent of 'grassroots' Protestant nationalist activism, largely by means of a prosopographical methodology. Thirdly, it examines the relationship between religious identity and Irish nationalism. It describes how Protestant nationalists sought to find a place within the nationalist movement, often by means of explicitly denominational-based organisations, and also describes how Catholic nationalists viewed these figures. After 1916, the nationalist movement grew steadily more Catholic in nature. This book discusses evidence that Protestants suffered discrimination from Catholic nationalists, and will highlight the hostility that Protestants faced from their unionist co-religionists, especially in Ulster"-- |
