Ireland in the Age of the Tudors, 1447-1603 cover

The second edition of Steven Ellis's formidable work represents not only a survey, but also a critique of traditional perspectives on the making of modern Ireland. It explores Ireland both as a frontier society divided between English and Gaelic worlds, and also as a problem of government within the wider Tudor state. This edition includes two major new chapters: the first extending the coverage back a generation, to assess the impact on English Ireland of the crisis of lordship that accompanied the Lancastrian collapse in France and England; and the second greatly extending the material on the Gaelic response to Tudor expansion.

'Ireland in the age of the Tudors is not merely a revision of the earlier Tudor Ireland but is revisionism at its original and best...an essential text for all students of early modern Ireland.' 
 John McGurk, Irish Studies Review 'alternative, stimulating and highly original persepctives on Tudor Ireland.' 
  Mary Ann Lyons, Irish Economic and Social History
