Irish History provides a much-needed historiographical and interpretative overview of Irish history. While there has always been a large amount of history written in and about Ireland much of it has focused only on the (putative) nation state and relations with Britain. This volume focuses not only on political histories but offers a comprehensive account of Irish history in its manifold aspects such as literary, labor, medical and women's history and history of the Irish population and diasporas, sexuality, and cultural identity, language and traditions.

These romantic views of human subjectivity eventually provided the foundation for a new theory of capitalism based on the desires of the individual consumer.
