Named for its mythical leader "Captain Rock," avenger of agrarian wrongs, the Rockite movement of 1821-24 in Ireland was notorious for its extraordinary violence. In Captain Rock, James S. Donnelly, Jr., offers both a fine-grained analysis of the conflict and a broad exploration of Irish rural society after the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.Originating in west Limerick, the Rockite movement spread quickly under the impact of a prolonged economic depression. Before long the insurgency embraced many of the better-off farmers. The intensity of the Rockites' grievances, the frequency of their resort to sensational violence, and their appeal on such key issues as rents and tithes presented a nightmarish challenge to Dublin Castle--prompting in turn a major reorganization of the police, a purging of the local magistracy, the introduction of large military reinforcements, and a determined campaign of judicial repression. A great upsurge in sectarianism and millenarianism, Donnelly shows, added fuel to the conflagration. Inspired by prophecies of doom for the Anglo-Irish Protestants who ruled the country, the overwhelmingly Catholic Rockites strove to hasten the demise of the landed elite they viewed as oppressors.
Drawing on a wealth of sources--including reports from policemen, military officers, magistrates, and landowners as well as from newspapers, pamphlets, parliamentary inquiries, depositions, rebel proclamations, and threatening missives sent by Rockites to their enemies--Captain Rock offers a detailed anatomy of a dangerous, widespread insurgency whose distinctive political contours will force historians to expand their notions of how agrarian militancy influenced Irish nationalism in the years before the Great Famine of 1845-51.

amazing quality for the price
Color: Glitter-9oz-60
These 9 oz gold plastic cups were the perfect finishing touch for our elegant shower theme. The hard plastic feels sturdy and high-quality and definitely not the flimsy disposable kind you might expect at this price point. The gold glitter finish added just the right amount of sparkle and sophistication to our décor.

Cute and elevated
Color: 10-Gold-100
These are really cute and really elevate our client experience at a minimal investment.
We offer a complimentary glass of champagne to our clients and we use these as an addition to serve juice, soda or water.
They are durable and pretty think, much better than using a thinner red solo cup and the gold addition the cups really makes them look expensive.

Great cups for any occassion!
Color: 9-Silver-200
These cups worked great for the rehearsal brunch and we were able to use the rest at one of the beverage stations at the reception. They were very good quality and the silver ring around the top added extra sparkle. Highly recommend!

Great Quality and Elegant Look!
Color: 9-Silver-100
I ordered these 9 oz silver-trimmed plastic cups for a dinner gathering , and they turned out perfect. The silver rim gives them an upscale, classy look great for parties or more formal events like weddings. They’re sturdy and don’t feel flimsy at all, even when filled with ice and drinks.
Guests complimented them several times, thinking they were real glass! Cleanup was easy since they’re disposable, but honestly, they’re durable enough to rinse and reuse if you want.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their party setup without spending a lot.

Good quality choice
Color: 9-Gold-200
Very good quality for a wedding. Used for wine with a larger size for beer. Great match and not flimsy or thin quality. Can be washed and used again as the gold band doesn't wash off easily and they still look new after one use, or toss.
