Abstract

ABSTRACT The essays in this collection are a significant contribution to the expanding scholarship on the history of Irish masculinities. Their focus on the era of the Irish Revolution, a time that has received a tremendous amount of attention from political, social, and military histories, but which is in its infancy regarding gendered analyses of masculinity’s meaning in the period, means that their individual arguments and insights are highly pertinent. By comparing and contrasting the themes of heroism, bodies, republicanism, migration, and war that have arisen in this volume, this conclusion argues that the authors have made important advances in how a masculinities paradigm can “revolutionise” the conceptualisation and deconstruction of this time in Irish history.
