The Eternal Paddy: A New Approach to Irish Identity in Nineteenth-Century Britain This book offers a fresh perspective on the complex and often contradictory views of Irish identity in Britain during the nineteenth century. Michael de Nie examines the ways in which anti-Irish prejudice, Anglo-Irish relations, and the construction of Irish and British identities were intertwined. By analyzing over ninety newspapers published in England, Scotland, and Wales, de Nie reveals the ambivalence towards the Irish people that was reflected in the British press. This ambivalence allowed many Britons to attribute Ireland's problems to its perceived 'Irishness'. The book explores the interplay between the press, the public, and politicians in shaping popular understandings of the Irish question. De Nie's work engages with ongoing debates about imperialism and British identity, shedding new light on the role of Catholic Ireland in British perceptions of their own identity and empire.
