The main theme and objective of this book is the evolution of the Irish attitude towards Poland and the Poles during the first half of the nineteenth century. The book explores advanced Irish-Polish relations, emphasising the place of the Polish Question in the process of shaping modern Irish nationalism, and how from a distant, nearly exotic, country before the end of the eighteenth century, Poland became a source of parallels for the Irish nationalists. Using statistical and geographical analyses, the book goes on to show how the Polish revolution led to the ultimate foundation of the Irish-Polish advanced relations and the role of Poland in the process of shaping modern Irish nationalism.
Dr Adam Kucharski, a historian, holds a PhD from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan. His research interests focus on Irish–Polish relations in the nineteenth century. He is the author and editor of publications concerning Irish–Polish historical relations as well as the Polish and Irish past.
