Sometimes I wonder if there is an entire generation of Irish historians and writers who are so cocooned inside an anglophone (and indeed anglophile) view of the world that they find it impossible to think outside of that carefully delineated box ? It s as if the whole length and breadth of European history is invisible to them. It reminds one of that old British joke about a fabled if possibly apocryphal London newspaper headline: Fog in the Channel Europe cut off!
Ireland owes its freedom to the spread of the English language which allowed for the spread of Irish nationalist ideals by writers such as Thomas Davis in a way that would not have been possible through the Irish language, according to historian, Prof John A Murphy.
Emeritus Professor of History at UCC, Prof Murphy said he had always been intrigued by the paradox that the growth of Irish nationalism in the 19th century was exclusively through the English language.
It s arguable that the advance of English literacy from the 1830s onwards was a good thing for Irish nationalism we are reluctant to acknowledge uk that we owe the growth of Irish nationalism and essentially our freedom to the English language, he said.
Ah yes, the Two Nations theory. For many Irish people a revisionist historian is simply an apologist for the invasion, occupation, colonisation and annexation of our island nation and all subsequent actions by that invader up to and including ethnocide. An excuser of the inexcusable with the veneer of academic respectability . And that is the fault of the revisionists not their critics.
