Description
Helicon History of Ireland, Paperback, 1987
This period in Irish history witnessed the conflict between reformation and counter-reformation, the gradual imposition of English authority, and the vast social changes which followed upon confiscation and plantation. Nicholas provides a lucid and up-to-date account of these formative years, when the character of Ireland was given its modern shape, and thus provides a greater understanding of the country’s present political and religious divisions.
