This second edition will confirm the reputation of Hickey and Doherty's Dictionary of Irish History as a standard work of reference. Every article from the first edition has been revisited and revised. New articles have been added, including all the material pertaining to the last two decades. Some peripheral articles have been dropped or consolidated, although the authors have been careful not to lose those quirky, offbeat entries that were such a feature of the first edition. As before, the book comprises about 2,000 headwords on subjects as diverse as emigration, governments of Ireland, home rule, loyalism, agrarian violence, secret societies, plus hundres of concise and informative biographical articles.
