- This is the first full-length study of Ribbonism, the secretive lower-class Catholic societies that stood opposed to landlordism and Orangeism in nineteenth-century Ireland. It demonstrates a sustained research effort, drawing on numerous archives in Ireland, the UK and US, including state surveillance records and ‘show trial’ proceedings, to trace the development of Ribbonism from its origins in the 1790s until the later nineteenth century when the remnants of the tradition found solace in the quasi-constitutional affinities of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Extensive primary sources illuminate the experience of Catholics in nineteenth-century Ireland in their struggle for improved standing internationally.
