This comprehensive history details 1,500 years of Irish politics, religion, economics and culture. Volume one follows the arrival of Christianity, the Viking intervention and the early English settlements. The second volume covers the plantations, Cromwell’s invasion and the development of the Protestant Ascendancy. The third encompasses the Act of Union, the Famine and mass emigration, while the fourth reviews events from the campaign for home rule to the present day.
This authoritative, accessible and engaging four-volume history vividly presents the Irish story - or stories - from c.600 to the present, within its broader Atlantic, European, imperial and global contexts. While the volumes benefit from a strong political narrative framework, they are distinctive also in including essays that address the full range of social, economic, religious, linguistic, military, cultural, artistic and gender history, and in challenging traditional chronological boundaries in a manner that offers new perspectives and insights. Each volume examines Ireland's development within a distinct period, and offers a complete and rounded picture of Irish life, while remaining sensitive to the unique Irish experience. Bringing together an international team of experts, this landmark history both reflects recent developments in the field and sets the agenda for future study.
