The Nation was also the journal of the Young Irelanders, a group of 19th century Irish Nationalists. It was founded in 1842 by Charles Gavan Duffy (1816-1903), Thomas Davis, (1814-1845), and John Dillon (1816-1866) to agitate for reform of British rule and support Daniel O'Connell in his fight for constitutional reform. The magazine published polemical prose and verse, including work by Duffy and Davis, whose A Nation Once Again is still popular among Irish Nationalists. The most significant writer associated with The Nation was James Clarence Mangan (1803-1849).
