Paris – capital of Irish culture

France, Ireland and the Republic, 1798–1916

Pierre Joannon & Kevin Whelan, editors

'[This book] sets out to explore the impact exerted by Irish and France on Irish affairs from the end of the 18th to the beginnings of the 20th century ... [including] an insightful discussion of war damage in Paris and Dublin and an illuminating discussion of Sinn Féin's diplomatic initiatives with the French government between 1919–1921 ... there is much to admire ... This attractively packaged tome ... reinforces the myriad connections that characterise the special relationship between France and Ireland', Eamon Maher, Irish Times (June 2018).

'[B]oth useful and stimulating. One of the great strengths of this book is that it presents the research of French scholars who have rarely published in English. Praise also needs to be given to Mathew Stout's maps, as well as the several useful charts outlining the chronology of various Irish circles in Paris', Tim Murtagh, Irish Historical Studies (May 2019).
