The papers in this volume were originally presented at one or other of two symposia entitled United Islands? Multi-Lingual Radical Poetry and Song in Britain and Ireland, 17701820 which were held at Queens University Belfast from 1315 November 2008 and 2629 August 2009 as part of an AHRC Research Networks and Grants Project under the same name. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the AHRC for these two symposia. The first symposium doubled-up as the 8th Language and Politics Symposium of the Gaeltacht and Scotstacht within the AHRC Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies, University of Aberdeen, to which we are indebted for further substantial funding. Additional funding came from Foras na Gaeilge.

Between the two symposia, there was a total of 120 invited participants many more participants than are represented in this volume or its companion volume: United Islands? The Cultures of Radicalism in Britain and Ireland edited by John Kirk, Michael Brown, and Andrew Noble, in the present series. We wish to acknowledge each of their contributions, especially those who chaired sessions or gave papers in response to our invitations, or acted as rapporteurs. To this last group we are especially indebted: at the first symposium: John Barrell, Claire Connolly, Jon Mee, and Katie Trumpener; at the second symposium: Michael Scrivener, Fred Lock, and Mark Philp. Each of their contributions accumulatively brought together the main inter-connecting strands of this literary and political matrix and greatly sharpened our own thinking. Katie Trumpener s Rapport was written up soon afterwards and is to be read here as an occasional piece. We are deeply obliged to Professor Trumpener for allowing us to reproduce her Rapport here.

At each symposium, there was a multi-lingual concert of song of the types which we are dealing with in these essays, and to which Katie Trumpener refers. There sang, at the first symposium: Ciaran Carson, Maggie Maclnnes, accompanied by Brian MacAlpine, Dafydd Idris Edwards, and Terry Moylan; at the second symposium Ciaran Carson, Dafydd Idris Edwards, James Flannery, and Adam McNaughtan. We are deeply indebted to each of them not only for their renditions but also for sharing with us their extraordinary rich knowledge of this song material.

At each symposium, there was a reception at the Linenhall Library, Belfast, founded in 1788 as the Belfast Reading Society. In 2008, the reception coincided with The Thomas Moore 2008 Festival Travelling Exhibition My Gentle Harp: Thomas Moores Irish Melodies, 18082008, about which John Gray, the then Librarian, and Siobhan Fitzpatrick of the Royal Irish Academy, spoke. In 2009, John Killen, incoming Librarian, spoke of the Hidden Gems of Radical Poetry in the Linen Hall Library Poetry Collection ahead of a tour of the Linen Hall Library Archives. It is always a pleasure to work with the Linenhall Library and its Librarians, and those present on each happy occasion are indebted for their hospitality as well as their erudition.

For the help of our colleagues, we are grateful especially to Ciaran Carson, Cairns Craig, Donall Baoill, and John Thompson.

We are indebted to Pickering & Chatto for agreeing to publish a new series in the area: Political Poetry and Song in the Age of Revolution, of which this volume is to be the first volume, and the companion volume: United Islands? The Cultures of Radicalism in Britain and Ireland, the third in the series. See www.pickeringchatto.com/series/poetry_and_song_in_the_age_of_revolution for further details. As our blurb states: Titles in this series will appeal to those involved in English literary studies, as well as those working in fields of study that cover Enlightenment, Romanticism and Revolution in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Scholars working within the disciplines of English, History, Music, Celtic Studies and Politics will find the series of interest, as will researchers whose wider concerns pertain to cultural history, anthropology and the history of philosophy, communications and linguistics.
