"offers an outstanding starting point (and returning point) to scholars ... this work will remain an invaluable overview of research since the 1990s."
Irish Studies Review 14 (2) 2006

"Specialist scholars and general readers alike will profit enormously from this ambitious collection, which covers aspects of the long nineteenth century in Ireland and the United Kingdom ... In bringing this collection to print, Geary and Kelleher have performed a genuine service to those with an interest in nineteenth-century studies. Whether readers scrutinize only those essays that pertain most directly to their own fields or interest or read the work in its entirety, they will surely benefit from the encounter."
Victorian Studies Spring 2006

"an extremely valuable addition for the library of any student or scholar of nineteenth-century Ireland. It contains not only a series of excellently written chapters covering a wide range of subject areas; it also includes a comprehensive bibliography. Following in the tradition of Moody and Lee's previous volumes, it represents a welcome addition to the canon of Irish historiographical writing."
