Synopsis
Dr Garret FitzGerald described the hardback edition of Patrick Geoghegan's book as 'surely the definitive work on the union'. Geoghegan's groundbreaking study is exactly that. The union of 1800-01 created a single United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It lasted until the Treaty of 1922 gave birth to what is now the Republic of Ireland; it continues to obtain in Northern Ireland. Patrick Geoghegan's survey examines the passing of the Act of Union in greater detail than ever before, drawing on newly discovered secret service papers in the Public Record Office in London. These papers settle the long-running controversy about government bribery and the passing of the Act of Union. Geoghegan's analysis shows beyond a doubt that there was considerable bribery involved. He also connects the passing of the Act of Union to the collapse of William Pitt's ministry in 1801. This is a connection never made before: it gives a depth and context to Geoghegan's survey which makes it stand apart. Irish affairs impacted directly upon British fortunes at a deadly moment in the Napoleonic wars. This is an outstanding book.

Synopsis
This title brings together 13 of the leading historians of the period to investigate the political, social and cultural significance of the Irish Act of Union. Marking the bicentennary of the passage of the act, the contributors combine to provide an authoritative account of the state of the historical debate. Divided in four sections, the book investigates the origins of the act, its actual passage into legislation, the political debate which surrounded the act in Ireland and beyond, and the central role played by religious considerations in its final shaping. This volume provides the results of recent research into the passing of the union, and supplies the reader with a valuable starting-point for understanding the significance of the 1801 union of Ireland with Britain.
