The Parliament which sat in Dublin from 1692-1800 was the last Irish elected assembly to represent the whole of the island. The principal issues to emerge during the time of the Irish Parliament - the Penal Code, legislative independence, the 1798 rebellion and the passing of the Act of Union of 1800 - were not only crucial in themselves but continue to influence our understanding of Irish history over the last three hundred years.

That Island Never Found is a collection of poems and essays in honour of Terence Brown by some of Ireland’s leading writers and scholars.
“Those great stone crosses standing out in Ireland’s countryside are the country’s greatest contribution to world sculpture, and contain the largest amount of religious carving preserved anywhere in Europe from the last quarter of the first Christian millennium. They are found in what are now churchyards, but were once monasteries of piety and peace which spread Ireland’s zeal for learning and scholarship across the European continent. These crosses stand as elegant monuments to a high civilisation, and their shape with the characteristic ring around the head became such a potent nationalistic symbol in the mid-nineteenth century that it was used for grave memorials on both sides of the Atlantic for those who wanted to identify themselves as Irish. . . .
