Irish Migrants in Britain, 1815-1914: A Documentary History

By Roger Swift

An edited collection of documents relating to the Irish experience in
Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Description:

The past twenty years have witnessed notable developments in the scholarly
study of Irish migration and settlement in nineteenth-century Britain, as a
burgeoning historiography and the emergence of specialist courses in British
colleges and universities serve to illustrate. The first of its kind, this
documentary history seeks to support the study and teaching of the subject
by using a range of contemporary documents, including extracts from
parliamentary papers, social surveys, newspapers, letters and reminiscences
to explore the experiences of Irish people in urban and rural Britain
between 1815 and 1914. By reference to themes of migration, settlement,
employment, social conditions, religion and politics, the sources contained
in this collection not only provide insights into the causes, features and
consequences of Irish migration. The book also demonstrates that while the
experiences of Irish migrants were complex and diverse, varying in time and
place, so too were contemporary attitudes towards them.

Each chapter comprises a contextual commentary, a selection of primary
sources and notes pointing to further reading. This unique anthology, which
also includes a comprehensive bibliography, will be of particular interest
to students and teachers of modern British and Irish social history. It is
also relevant to the study of immigrants and minorities in modern British
Society.
