This article in a contribution to recent work which has begun to integrate the study of British and Irish popular politics in the early nineteenth century. It begins by comparing the two movements - seldom done in the respective historiographies - which dominated popular politics on either side of the Irish Sea in the 1840s: Chartism and the campaign for the repeal of the Act of Union (1800). The enmity between the two movements has blinded historians to the similarities and points of contact between Chartism and Repeal, and to underestimate the radicalism of O'Connell and the Repeal movement. There was a shared ideological commitment to democracy, and Repeal no less than Chartism was a movement for parliamentary reform - an aspect virtually ignored in the historiography. O'Connell's enmity towards the Chartists was part of a strategy of trying to contain Chartism in Britain. Having sketched out this comparative context, the article moves on to a discussion of Chartism in Ireland in the early-to-mid 1840s, about which we still know very little. By utilising a range of sources - including manuscript sources ignored in previous accounts - it suggests that O'Connell had good reason to fear the rival pull of Chartism in Ireland. Attention is paid to the means by which Chartism was established in Ireland, especially the role of diasporic networks. The article concludes by situating the comparison of the two movements in the context of recent work on democratic revolutions in the Atlantic World. It challenges the view that there was a "democratic deficit" in Ireland in the age of O'Connell, and suggests that Repeal and Chartism were beset by similar tensions over competing definitions of liberty that had cascaded around the Atlantic World since the late eighteenth century.

大西洋革命时代的丹尼尔奥康奈尔、废除和宪章主义

这篇文章是对 19 世纪初英国和爱尔兰大众政治研究开始整合的近期工作的贡献。它首先比较了两个运动——在各自的历史编纂中很少进行——它们在 1840 年代主导了爱尔兰海两岸的大众政治：宪章主义和废除联合法案（1800 年）的运动。两次运动之间的敌意使历史学家对宪章主义和废除运动之间的相似之处和接触点视而不见，并低估了奥康奈尔和废除运动的激进主义。对民主有共同的意识形态承诺，废除宪章运动不亚于议会改革运动——这在史学中几乎被忽视。奥康奈尔 对宪章派的敌意是试图在英国遏制宪章主义的战略的一部分。在勾勒出这种比较背景之后，本文继续讨论 1840 年代早期至中期爱尔兰的宪章主义，我们对此知之甚少。通过利用一系列来源——包括在之前的叙述中被忽略的手稿来源——这表明奥康奈尔有充分的理由担心爱尔兰宪章主义的竞争对手拉动。关注宪章主义在爱尔兰建立的方式，尤其是侨民网络的作用。文章最后将这两个运动的比较置于大西洋世界民主革命的近期工作背景下。它挑战了奥康奈尔时代爱尔兰存在“民主赤字”的观点，
