Few countries can boast as compelling a history as Ireland. Written by a team of scholars--all of whom are native to Ireland--this book offers the most authoritative account of Irish history yet published for the general reader.Emphasizing the paradoxes and ambiguities of Irish history, this book presents a more realistic picture than other histories. This volume captures all the varied legacies of the Emerald Isle, from the earliest prehistoric communities and the first Christian settlements, through centuries of turbulent change and creativity, right up to the present day.
It also examines more familiar themes--such as the recurrent religious strife It explores, for example, the reasons behind the intense regional variations in agriculture, prosperity, and political affiliation in so small a land, and shows why Victorian norms prevail in certain areas of twentieth-century life.
