- This interdisciplinary book probes Ulster Protestant history and identity in Ireland from the nineteenth century to the present. Public and private archives in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom were consulted, along with multiple unpublished theatre scripts. The book also features over sixty interviews with notable figures within Ulster Loyalism and the arts in Ireland. Addressing contemporary and contested debates about what constitutes ‘Protestant culture’, the book constitutes part of the evidence of an Impact Case Study and was shortlisted for both the Ewart-Biggs Literary Prize (2015-2017) and the Royal Historical Society’s Whitfield Prize for distinguished first books.
