Product Description
A Bibliography and Critical Inquiry, Including an Account of the Origins of Protestant Ascendancy and Its Baptism in 1792 - Hardback, published by Irish Academic Press.
The long and acrimonious exchange of pamphlets, which surrounded publication of Richard Woodward's Present State of the Church of Ireland in December 1786 has attracted a good deal of comment from historians interested in the Whiteboys, resistance to tithes and interdenominational relations in Ireland. Emphasizing the importance of theoretical reflexivity in critical practice, McCormack goes beyond commentary to establish a full and annotated list of the publications involved. His bibliographical research is carefully placed within a wider context of interpretation, drawing on Anglo-American linguistic philosophy, German critical theory and the findings of fellow Irish researchers.
