- W389135024 abstract "Micheal O Siochru and Jane Ohlmeyer, eds. Ireland, 1641: Contexts and Reactions. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2013. xviii + 286 pp. 75.00 [pounds sterling] (cloth). Between 2007 and 2010, a consortium of university researchers led by Jane Ohlmeyer and Micheal O Siochru digitized, transcribed and created a searchable keyword database of around eight-thousand depositions (Trinity College Dublin, MSS 809-841) concerning the rebellion of Catholic Irish in 1641. The deposed were largely Protestants interviewed in the 1640s and 1650s, but the people interviewed came from all walks of life. One finds the voices of lords and servants, men and women. Even though they give a decidedly one-sided view of this remarkably violent period, they nevertheless offer a rare and profoundly complex view of Ireland in this period. If you have not yet seen them, go explore before reading further. [http://1641.tcd.ie/] The website is a more model for digital humanities projects. Ireland, 1641: Contexts and Reactions compliments the online depositions project. It is also the second book in a series by Manchester University Press on Early Modern Irish History. The volume largely collects the papers from two conferences at Trinity College Dublin in 2009 and 2010 about the rebellion and the larger question of war and atrocity. This produces a good set of lenses through which the events of 1641 can be read. The 1641 depositions open debates about key questions in current modern historiography--including Irish history as a driver of events in Britain and the Atlantic World more generally, the relationship of Irish history to European history, the significance of religious warfare, and the issue of the more global general crisis of the seventeenth century. They also bring up a number of more transhistorical questions about history and memory, the problem of representing traumatic events, the role of the state in managing conflict, the performative nature of violence, and the role of gender in warfare (including the remarkable phenomenon of stripping as punishment). For this reader, the literal and conceptual heart of this highly varied volume is William Smyth's data-rich analysis of the depositions. It includes four maps--the distribution of events and atrocities in the depositions, the percentage of depositions by barony involving killings, the urban geography of Ireland in 1641, and the location of Irish colleges and Irish writing projects across Europe in 1641. This data speaks volumes, and Smyth is right to point out the importance of urbanization and the Irish intelligentsia in this period, not to mention the administrative ways in which the depositions were gathered that make the conflict fundamentally linked to the question of early modernity. In fact, if one wanted to interrogate that concept more generally, Smyth's maps would be an excellent place to start. In general, they reveal the nested contexts in which the depositions might be read and how complex of an archive they are. The broader volume reveals, however, more of a garden of forking paths. The first half of the volume focuses on local events and the memory of 1641 itself. An array of possible methodologies that could be used in approaching the depositions are on display. The first two essays by Ethan Shagan and Aidan Clark interrogate historical memory as a problem and seem inspired indirectly by fields like Holocaust Studies (even though the Holocaust goes unmentioned). They compare well with recent scholarship on the broader question of memory and remembrance in Catholic-Protestant conflicts, such as the Troubles or more benign Guy Fawkes Day celebrations. Other approaches include colonialism (Nicholas Canny), regionalism (David Edwards on provincial unrest as a cause of events in Ireland), performativity (John Walter), William Smiths's aforementioned cultural geography, and Hiram Morgan's analysis of Iberian news pamphlets, which makes steps towards a critical analysis of print cultures. …" @default.
