Abstract
Emmet Larkin’s identification in a pioneering 1972 article of a ‘devotional revolution’, a transformation of religious practice that he dated to the period 1850–75, has had an enduring influence on subsequent histories of Catholic Ireland. This chapter first discusses the initial debates Larkin’s thesis prompted, before arguing that the ‘devotional revolution’ as an explanatory framework has not lost its utility. The chapter shows that current research is centred on three significant themes. First, scholars are exploring in multiple ways the material manifestations of the Devotional Revolution, which it should be stressed is not at odds with an appreciation of the deeply felt religiosity of those involved. Second, there is a renewed focus on the agency of the laity in the Devotional Revolution. Third, the consequences of the Devotional Revolution for Catholic culture worldwide have attracted important work.
