Abstract
At present it is historiographically fashionable to see nineteenth-century Ireland in the context of its being part of Victorian Britain. As one writer has put it, ‘the Victorian context of Irish culture in mid-century (and after) has been neglected in favour — on occasion — of an exclusivist attention to “the national tradition” ’.[1] This statement would be more true of the GAA than of any other manifestation of Irish culture — popular or otherwise.
