Demonstrating the unique value of folklore as a historical source, "Remembering the Year of the French" offers a fresh perspective on collective memory and modern Irish history.
Remembering the Year of the French is a model of historical achievement, moving deftly between the study of historical events--the failed French invasion of the West of Ireland in 1798--and folkloric representationsof those events. Delving into the folk history found in Ireland's rich oral traditions, Guy Beiner reveals alternate visions of the Irish past and brings into focus the vernacular histories, folk commemorative practices, and negotiations of memory that have gone largely unnoticed by historians.
