Adopting a spatial approach, the essays presented in this collection move beyond study of events that happened and people who lived in the towns and cities of nineteenth-century Ireland, instead exploring the ways in which particular urban spaces were constructed and experienced. Focusing on a range of urban spaces, from individual streets and districts, to schools, asylums and entire cities, they highlight both the multifaceted nature of the Irish urban experience and the potential of the spatial approach to the study of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews ‘This is an innovative, varied and intriguing volume which inspires the reader to engage with new ways of exploring our urban past… highly recommended to all those interested in, or curious about, urban history.’\u003cbr\u003e Ruth McManus, \u003ci\u003eIrish Historical Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The book provides valuable exemplars of urban history informed by different conceptualizations of space and place.'Richard Dennis,\u003ci\u003e Victorian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction - Olwen Purdue and Jonathan Wright  The Royal Paragon; setting out suburban space in nineteenth century Dublin' - Laura Johnstone  Municipal Social Housing in Ireland 1866-1914 - Matthew Potter  `The Donegalls' Backside': Donegall Place, the White Linen Hall and the development of space and place in nineteenth-century Belfast - Jonathan Wright  The school and the home: constructing childhood and space in Dublin boarding schools - Mary Hatfield  `High walls and locked doors':  contested spaces in Belfast workhouse 1880 - 1905 - Olwen Purdue  Levelling up the lower deeps - rural and suburban spaces at an Edwardian asylum - Gillian Allmond  Locating investigations into suicidal deaths in urban Ireland, 1901-1915 - Georgina Laragy  Visualizing the City: Images of Ireland's urban world, c. 1790 - 1820 - Mary Jane Boland  Forging a Shared Identity: Irish Migrants and Steel Cities 1850-1900 - Oliver Betts","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470017007959,"sku":"9781786941527","price":109.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786941527.jpg?v=1744897107","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/urban-spaces-in-nineteenth-century-ireland-9781786941527","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
