Riassunto

A New History of Ireland is the largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. In 9 volumes, it provides a comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, down to the present day.

The fourth volume of A New History of Ireland opens with an introductory survey of Ireland in the eighteenth century, followed by chapters that examine the Protestant ascendancy, social and political life, religion, the economy, and the arts.

Recensione

Review from previous edition '' handsomely produced ... The credentials of its authors can hardly be questioned: On the contrary, the team assembled here can fairly claim a great part of the credit for having laid the twentieth-century foundations for the study of Irish history in this period' (The Irish Review)

''Like its predecessors, Volume IV is a handsome tome: printed and produced to the usual high standard of the Clarendon Press ... it is a major work on eighteenth-century Irish history and the most comprehensive attempt at a large single-volume consideration of this vital period' (James Kelly, Parliamentary History)
