Although the history of crowds in modern European history has been a debated subjects since E.P. Thompson's work of the 1960s, the crowd in Irish history has been largely neglected. This is a study of the subject during the most turbulent period of Ireland's history. The introduction proposes an outline history of the crowd in Ireland and is followed by eight specialist studies of crowd activity. The volume incorporates discussions from a Colloquium held in Belfast in 1998 which was attended by the contributors and senior Irish and British historians.
