- Title
Disremembering 1798?
- Authors
BEINER, GUY
- Abstract
The article examines the phenomenon of social forgetting through a case study on collective memory associated with the 1798 Irish Rebellion against British rule in Ulster (part of Ireland and Northern Ireland). The author explains the promotion of forgetting by the unionist organization Orange Order in 1898 and details the general development of loyalism among Ulser's Protestant population. Loyalist texts by authors such as Richard Musgrave that fail to mention the event are also discussed.
