Description

The decade of the 1860s was a turbulent period in Irish politics, both at home and abroad, and saw the rise and apparent failure of the separatist Fenian movement. In England, this period also witnessed the first realistic attempt at establishing a genuinely popular press amid Irish migrants to Britain. This was to be an ideological battle as both secular nationalists and the Roman Catholic Church, for their very distinct reasons, desperately wished to communicate with a reading public which owed its existence in large measure to the massive immigration of the years of the Famine. Based on extensive archival research, this book provides the first serious study of the Irish press in Britain for any period, through a detailed analysis of three London newspapers, The Universal News (1860-9), The Irish Liberator (1863-4) and The Irish News (1867). In so doing, it provides us with a window onto the complex of relationships which shaped the lives of the migrants: with each other, with their English fellow Catholics, with the Catholic Church and with the state. A central question for this press was how to reconcile the twin demands of faith and fatherland. Review «The book is full of fascinating and absorbing detail, and McNicholas marshals his evidence with both care and clarity. He has filled an important gap in media history, and shed new light on the Irish politics of the mid-Victorian period.» (European Journal of Communication) «Anthony McNicholas's 'Politics, Religion and the Press' represents the first of what one hopes will be many forays into this topic. This book is particularly valuable because it not only offers detailed case studies of three London Irish papers, but also skillfully analyzes the political and religious contexts within which they operated and eventually, and sometimes quickly, failed.» (Michael de Nie, New Hibernia Review) About the Author The Author: Anthony McNicholas holds a Ph.D. in Communications (2000) from the University of Westminster where he is a Senior Lecturer in the Communication and Media Research Institute. He specialises in media history, both press and broadcasting.
