The Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland began its annual conferences in the early 1990s -- firstly in Ireland, and then rotating between Ireland, Britain and America. From these conferences more than a dozen volumes have already been published, helping to place this Society at the cutting edge of Irish studies. It is anticipated that a volume of papers from the Limerick conference will be published.
