The Respectability of Ireland: Selections from the Dublin Magazine , 1832-1879

In this study of the influence of Ireland’s most important journal of ideas in the 19th century, Professor Hall argues that the magazine helped mold consensus opinion in matters as varied as Catholic Emancipation and Land Reform. He also demonstrates the literary influence of the magazine particularly on the Bronte family and on the rising generation of late 19th century Irish poets and essayists.
