Books in the Society for the Study of Nineteenth Century Ireland series

Bringing together an international group of established and emerging scholars, this volume considers the emerging field of the history of emotion and what a history of happiness in Ireland might looklike. This volume explores how the idea of happiness shaped social, literary, architectural and aesthetic aspirations across the century.

This interdisciplinary collection focuses on the history of the future and in particular how Irish people in the nineteenth century thought about their future, in many different ways and contexts.
