The Historical Dimensions of Irish Catholicism
In three short essays (first published as articles in The American Historical Review), Larkin analyzes the economic, social, and political context of nineteenth-century Ireland.
The Pastoral Role of the Roman Catholic Church in Pre-famine Ireland, 1750-1850
In this new volume, noted Irish historian Emmet Larkin turns hisattention to the pastoral challenges the Roman Catholic Church faced inministering to an exploding population of Irish Catholics in the yearsbefore the Great Famine of 1847. The extraordinary increase in thepopulation of Ireland from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenthcentury combined with a lack of financial resources available to thechurch as well as a shortage of clergy and sacred space proved to becrucial for adopting new methods of ministering to the Irish Catholiccommunity. How the Irish Church attempted to respond to these variouschallenges, and how it was thus uniquely shaped by them, is thecentral theme of this study.

The Roman Catholic Church and the Home Rule Movement in Ireland, 1870-1874
In this, his sixth book on the Roman Catholic church in Ireland, Larkin focuses on the church's role in the first stage of the emergence of the modern Irish political system. This system depended upon the convergence of three crucial elements -- the leader, the party, and the Irish bishops as a body -- and in the 1870s, these elements began to coalesce. The refusal of the bishops to come to terms with the Home Rule movement was fortunate; otherwise their dominance would have altered the shape of Irish politics. Originally published in 1990.

Piety and Power in Ireland, 1760-1960
"J. J. Lee, Donal Kerr, H.F. Kearney, G.I. Bernstein, L.W. McBride and F.A. Biletz deal with issues arising out of his 'Church, State and Nation' thesis which suggests that several decades before an Irish state achieved de jure independence the church had entered into a 'concordat' with a de facto Irish state. I.J. McCaffrey and Helen Mulvey contribute a memoir and bibliography of the honouree."--Jacket.

The Dynamiters
In the 1880s a New York-based faction of militant Irish nationalists conducted the first urban bombing campaign in history, targeting symbolic public buildings in Britain with homemade bombs. This book investigates the people and ideas behind this spectacular new departure in revolutionary violence. Employing a transnational approach, the book reveals connections and parallels between the 'dynamiters' and other revolutionary groups active at the time and demonstrates how they interacted with currents in revolution, war and politics across Europe, the United States and the British Empire. Reconstructing the life stories of individual dynamiters and their conceptual and ethical views on violence, it offers an innovative picture of the dynamics of revolutionary organizations as well as the political, social and cultural factors which move people to support or condemn acts of political violence.
The Oxford History of British and Irish Catholicism, Volume IV
After 1830 Catholicism in Britain and Ireland was practised and experienced within an increasingly secure Church that was able to build a national presence and public identity. With the passage of the Catholic Relief Act (Catholic Emancipation) in 1829 came civil rights for the United Kingdom's Catholics, which in turn gave Catholic organisations the opportunity to carve out a place in civil society within Britain and its empire. This Catholic revival saw both a strengthening of central authority structures in Rome, (creating a more unified transnational spiritual empire with the person of the Pope as its centre), and a reinvigoration at the local and popular level through intensified sacram...
