Samuel K Fisher

Professor Samuel K Fisher researches, teaches, and writes about colonial America, early modern Britain and Ireland, and the connections between them. His work focuses on the experiences of Irish and Scottish Gaelic and American Indigenous peoples. His recently published book, The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution: Diversity and Empire in the British Atlantic 1688-1783 (Oxford University Press), provides a new explanation of the origins of the American Revolution. The project draws on the Irish- and Scots-Gaelic language and Indigenous American sources in order to show how colonized peoples tried to reshape empires in their own image, and how their partial success convinced American colonists to leave the British empire. He is also co-editor of a recent anthology of Irish-language poetry in historical context, Bone and Marrow/Cnámh agus Smior: An Anthology of Irish Poetry from Medieval to Modern (Wake Forest University Press). He is currently working on a project comparing the 1641 Irish Rebellion and King Philip’s War. Source: Commons

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
