Ireland in the Age of the Tudors, 1447-1603

- English Expansion and the End of Gaelic Rule

Bag om Ireland in the Age of the Tudors, 1447-1603

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.
