"The Old Irish World" by Alice Stopford Green is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work combines lectures and papers that explore Ireland's historical narrative, culture, and civilization, particularly in the context of overcoming English colonial perspectives that have shaped its history. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding Ireland's unique historical identity and its rich cultural contributions. At the start of the book, the author expresses gratitude to friends who encouraged her to publish lectures on Irish history. She highlights the historical challenge of studying Irish civilization, pointing out how traditional narratives often undermine the richness of Ireland's past. Stopford Green critiques the way history has been presented in England, asserting that Irish history has been marginalized and misrepresented. She stresses the urgent need for the Irish people to reclaim their narrative and to study their history not merely as a fragment of English history but as a significant narrative that deserves recognition and respect.
