The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of
studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which
emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative
and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions
or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series
focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna-
tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the
world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the
first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more
senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic
focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature,
science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new
scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

thematic concern of the present volume—that of Ireland’s relationship
with the wider British Empire.
Viewed one way, the history of Ireland during the long period covered
by this collection (1775–1947) evokes a narrative characterised by the
gradual wresting of national self-determination, the overthrow of British
rule and the emergence of the modern nation. At the same time, however,
this period saw British imperial power reach its peak, before dramatically
declining in the post–Second World War era of de-colonisation. Hence, an
equally important and intertwined dimension of Ireland’s historical expe-
rience within this timeframe concerns its diffuse and multifaceted connec-
tions with the empire. Despite Ireland being formally recognised as a
kingdom in 1541, some Irish writers and politicians had, by the eigh-
teenth century, come to compare its treatment to that meted out to
Britain’s colonies. In the late seventeenth century William Molyneux pro-
tested, in his influential work, The Case of Ireland, Stated (1698), against
the notion that “Ireland is to be looked upon only as a Colony from
England.”2 But Molyneux’s protestation notwithstanding, Ireland’s par-
liament was rendered subservient to Westminster by the passage of the
Declaratory Act of 1720—subservient, that is, until 1782, when, against
the backdrop of imperial conflict in North America, parliamentary and
popular agitation in Ireland led Britain to concede the legislative indepen-
dence of the Irish parliament. Ireland’s experience of parliamentary inde-
pendence was, though, short-lived. Following the dramatic convulsions of
the 1790s in the wake of the American and French revolutions—reformist
and radical agitation, rebellion, counter-reaction and, in places, sectarian
blood-letting—the British government looked again at its relationship
with its sister kingdom and, on 1 January 1801, as is well known, Ireland
was subsumed within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
under the terms of the Act of Union.3
In theory, Ireland under the union was an equal partner in Britain’s
imperial enterprise; in reality, things were more complex. The union was,
as Alvin Jackson has noted, “incomplete.” Catholic Emancipation was not
granted until 1829 and “Ireland was ruled partly in colonial and partly in
metropolitan terms.” Thus, while political representatives were sent to
Westminster, a Lord Lieutenant resided in Dublin and, as was the case
elsewhere in the empire, elements of Irish bureaucracy, not least policing,
were “highly centralized.”4 Over the course of the nineteenth century,
Ireland’s perceived subservience to Britain would generate powerful calls
1 INTRODUCTION 3
for reform and freedom. From repeal to Home Rule, O’Connell to Parnell,
and Young Ireland to the Fenians, the political narrative of nineteenth-
century Ireland is well known.5 Yet against this backdrop, Ireland took its
place within the imperial order, despatching disproportionately high num-
bers of men (and later, increasingly, women) to serve in the colonies. “As
well as belonging to a colony at the heart of the British Empire,” Kevin
Kenny has written, “Irish people helped, conquer, populate, and govern
the colonies overseas.”6
The early years of the twentieth century would, of course, bring
Ireland’s independence. With the creation of the Free State in 1921, the
curtain fell on the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, rising
instead on the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
and in 1949 a further, formal distancing from empire on Ireland’s part
occurred, as it became a republic and left the Commonwealth. Such
attempts at distancing, though understandable in an emerging republic,
might be said, at a popular level, to have left a residue of imperial amne-
sia—that is, a tendency to overlook the imperial past of Ireland and the
Irish. This is particularly true of those whose careers, whether as soldiers
or administrators, contributed to the development of empire and whose
stories form, in Hiram Morgan’s words, “an uncomfortable Irish heri-
tage.”7 In recent years, however, this heritage has attracted increasing
scholarly attention. In his Ireland and Empire: Colonial Legacies in Irish
History and Culture, Stephen Howe has undertaken a sustained examina-
tion of “the ways in which the languages of imperialism, colonialism, post-
coloniality and anticolonialism have been deployed in Irish contexts,” and
a series of monographs and essay collections published within the last
twenty years has sought to shed light on the Irish men and women who
were active within the empire, to highlight connections between Irish and
Indian nationalists and, from a critical perspective, to apply the insights of
postcolonial and subaltern studies to Irish cultural productions.8 Such
work has served to raise a raft of important and often difficult questions
for the modern nation. Should we view Ireland as a colony? What role did
the Irish play in the oppression of other, now postcolonial, nations? And,
by contrast, to what extent did Ireland encourage or serve as an example
for other anti-colonial movements elsewhere in the empire? As for the
Irish themselves, how did they view empire as it applied to them? Was it
viewed as an opportunity or as a curse? Were the Anglo-Irish overseas
subsumed into Britishness by the empire or did they retain a distinctive
Irish side to their identity even as they went abroad? Did the bifurcated
4 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT
emigration proceeded apace before and after the famine years, making the
Irish diaspora the largest of all European nations when taken over the
entire period. Although statistics are problematic, it has been estimated
that between 1820 and 1920 around 5 million migrated to the United
States alone, and that by 1890, 39% of all Irish-born people were living
abroad, variously adapting to and recreating anew their living environ-
ments wherever they went. As Roy Foster has commented pithily: “There
was, in a very real sense, an Ireland abroad.”11 Peter Ludlow and Terry
Murphy’s chapter on imperial Halifax—one of Britain’s most important
naval garrison cities by the mid-nineteenth century—provides a revealing
account of the largely Catholic (though partially mixed) Irish population
within the establishment of this multi-ethnic military and urban location.
Their chapter analyses the staggered “two-boat” or “three-boat” nature of
their passage and throws interesting light on their interactions with neigh-
bours and internecine disputes with coreligionists. What emerges most
distinctly, quite in opposition to stereotypical views of Irish sectarianism
and Irish Catholic unruliness, is the extent to which this pre-famine
migrant population can be seen, over the course of the nineteenth century,
to have played an energetic and well-integrated role in the development of
the city’s imperial institutions and character. Following this, Eve Patten’s
chapter, “From Enniskillen to Nairobi: the Coles in British East Africa,”
turns from urban history to the pioneer and plantation ethos cultivated by
an aristocratic Ulster family in former Rhodesia. Patten traces an intrigu-
ing connection from Ireland to British East Africa in the early twentieth
century, covering three of the children of the fourth Earl of Enniskillen
(Florence Cole, b. 1878; Galbraith Cole, b. 1881; and Berkeley Cole, b.
1882), who became pioneer settlers in British East Africa between the
1890s Protectorate and the 1920 establishment of the crown colony.
Their experiences, encountered through letters, memoirs and the work of
authors Karen Blixen and Llewelyn Powys, are perhaps idiosyncratic but
offer nonetheless an illumination of the complex position of Ulster-born
aristocrat imperialists, in relation to Irish national narratives on one hand,
and colonial settlement history on the other. The chapter hints at the ways
in which the Coles—Ireland’s “livestock barons of the Rift Valley,” as
described by Elspeth Huxley—saw events back home, from the Home
Rule crisis to the Rising, as bearing on the emergence of a modern Kenya,
and places their embryonic white-settler nationalism in ironic juxtaposi-
tion to their political views on Ireland’s revolutionary transition.
6 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT
The next two chapters within this section, one focusing on Australia
and the other returning to North America, examine through print culture
what might be called mythical or mediated views of Irish plight (and,
indeed, flight) in colonial outposts. In “Walking to China: Infatuation and
the Irish in New South Wales,” Killian Quigley examines the puzzling
phenomenon of Irish convict transportees to Australia who supposedly
attempted to escape to China on foot. Quigley considers these accounts
not with a view to explicating or resolving them, but in order to analyse
the discursive connections that are manifested in them regarding tropes of
infatuation, convict labour, Irishness and apparently pathological forms of
mobility. As Quigley argues, when observers commented that the would-
be China-bound travellers were engaged in undermining the colonial
enterprise, what they were describing was a form of resistance that was
oblique and uncertain but which bore comparison with colonial and anti-
colonial movements across the globe. Martyn Powell’s chapter,
“Competing Narratives: White Slavery, Servitude and the Irish in Late-
Eighteenth-Century America,” examines how Irish servitude in America
after independence was uneasily aligned with slavery in the Irish and
American press. Powell’s chapter serves as an important reminder that
Ireland’s connections with British colonies would persist even after major
structural developments had occurred within the empire, developments
including the securing of American independence. The importance of
America as a destination for Irish migrants in the colonial period and,
again, in the nineteenth century is well known. However, as Powell shows,
the Irish continued to emigrate to North America in large numbers in the
years immediately following the American War of Independence and,
equally importantly, the former American colonies remained significant in
Irish political discourse. It is arguably the case, Powell’s discussion sug-
gests, that the conventional chronologies of colonisation and de-
colonisation can obscure as much as they reveal. Here, and elsewhere in
the volume (as, for instance, in Raphaela Adjobimey’s discussion of
“mutiny ballads”), one becomes aware of just how malleable sympathy for
the colonial and racial “other” could be from an Irish point of view.
Examining various versions of Irish settler cultures from institutional and
personal records, and analysing the mythology and print cultures that they
generated, these chapters demonstrate the multifaceted and evolving
nature of the Irish diaspora within the empire.
Part II, “Writing/Imagining Empire,” gathers three chapters, two dis-
cussing literary production and one on the writing of history, specifically the
1 INTRODUCTION 7
v ictims and the condemnation of the rebels and, by extension, all Indians.
Furthermore, closer examination reveals an inflection of Irish political
interests running through this corpus, demonstrating the way in which
India could serve as a canvas for the projection of Irish causes, signalling
on occasion calls for independence, and at other times loyalty to Britain
and its empire. Taking a slightly different approach, Pramod K. Nayar’s
chapter, “Afghanistan, the Indian ‘Mutiny’, and the Bicultural Stereotype
of John Nicholson,” examines constructions of imperial heroism sur-
rounding the figure of the Lisburn-born soldier, John Nicholson, whose
death in the siege of Delhi in 1857 was followed by widespread literary
and biographical commemoration of his valour. Arguing that such con-
structions drew upon his typecasting in subcontinental terms as much as
in Irish terms, Nayar analyses three such stereotypes attaching to
Nicholson’s posthumous reputation: that of the “redemptive character”
who has come to terms with the trauma of his earlier military involve-
ments; that of the “avenging hero” whose excesses are an appropriate
response to the horrors of the mutiny; and that of the co-opted and “cre-
olized figure” whose savage ideas of justice equate with those imputed to
the military races (Sikh and Afghan) recognised by the Raj.
Turning from literary considerations to political history, the final chap-
ter in Part III, “Violent Resistance: The Irish Revolution and India” by
Kate O’Malley, looks at the impact of the revolutionary phase in Ireland
on Indian nationalism, focusing on the Chittagong uprising of 1930 and
Subhas Chandra Bose’s revolutionary activities over the period of the
Second World War, to suggest the importance of Irish influence on these
events. Although the Indian national movement is widely remembered in
the popular imagination as a largely peaceful one thanks to Gandhi’s pow-
erfully influential aspiration for it—creating an idealised vision of the free-
dom movement that was swiftly commemorated by the newly formed
nation—the reality of Indian nationalism prior to its successful outcome
(and overlooking the violence of partition) was, in reality, a far more frag-
mented and involved process, often espousing explicitly violent means.
O’Malley’s excavation of the multilayered process by which recollections
of the 1916 Easter uprising were channelled by Surya Sen, the leader of
the Chittagong uprising, into his own revolutionary message and model
for activism, and her detailing of Bose’s Irish influences and friendships,
provide an important insight into some of the lesser-known undercurrents
that flowed between the two nationalist movements. Though separated by
nearly a century, the events surrounding the 1857 mutiny (retrospectively
10 D. S. ROBERTS AND J. J. WRIGHT
chapters in this book are separated into parts that display obvious thematic
similarities, readers are invited to consider these chapters as interacting
with each other in ways that could appeal to other interconnected and
cross-fertilising critical and historical interests. Issues of race, gender, class,
religious belief, political ideology, intellectual and historical understand-
ing, chronology and geography run through the volume, allowing for
many such correlations. Furthermore, these chapters offer a wide range of
exemplary case studies, discursive analyses and historical, literary and his-
toriographical reflections on Ireland and the empire. Taken together, they
serve as a salutary reminder of Ireland’s shared political experience and
development under the aegis of the British Empire at a time when rela-
tions between North and South are fraught with fears of a renewed rift in
the form of a “hard border” between the regions.

Each of these divides, and the two sister cells then conjugate after
the same fashion as in Actinophrys, but the nuclear divisions to form
the coupling nucleus are two in number, i.e. the nucleus divides into
two, one of which goes to the surface as the first polar body, and the
sister of this again divides to form a second polar body (which also
passes to the surface) and a pairing nucleus.[84] The two cells then
fuse completely, and surround themselves with a second gelatinous
cyst wall, separated from the outer one by a layer of siliceous
spicules. The nucleus appears to divide at least twice before the
young creep out, to divide immediately into as many Actinophrys-like
cells as there were nuclei; then each of these multiplies its nuclei, to
become apocytial like the adult form.
