Abstract

Abstract : As Ireland prepares to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising, Heather Jones traces how this failed military insurrection against British rule – mounted by a small, unrepresentative minority of Irish republicans – has evolved as a source of pride, division and controversy across the island over the course of a tumultuous century.
