Delving into the folk history found in Ireland s rich oral traditions, Guy Beiner reveals alternate visions of the Irish past and brings into focus the vernacular histories, folk commemorative practices, and negotiations of memory that have gone largely unnoticed by historians.\u003cbr\u003e Beiner analyzes hundreds of hitherto unstudied historical, literary, and ethnographic sources. Though his focus is on 1798, his work is also a comprehensive study of Irish folk history and grass-roots social memory in Ireland. Investigating how communities in the West of Ireland remembered, well into the mid-twentieth century, an episode in the late eighteenth century, this is a history from below that gives serious attention to the perspectives of those who have been previously ignored or discounted. Beiner brilliantly captures the stories, ceremonies, and other popular traditions through which local communities narrated, remembered, and commemorated the past. Demonstrating the unique value of folklore as a historical source, \u003ci\u003eRemembering the Year of the French\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on collective memory and modern Irish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner, Wayland Hand Competition for outstanding publication in folklore and history, American Folklore Society \u003cbr\u003eFinalist, award for the best book published about or growing out of public history, National Council on Public History \u003cbr\u003eWinner, Michaelis-Jena Ratcliff Prize for the best study of folklore or folk life in Great Britain and Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e An important and beautifully produced work.
