'And So Began The Irish Nation': Nationality, National Consciousness And Nationalism In Pre-Modern Ireland

In this collection, the result of a lifetime's study, Brendan Bradshaw provides an insight into how concepts of ?ationalism?and ?ational identity?can be understood and applied to pre-modern Ireland. Drawing upon a selection of his most provocative and pioneering essays, together with three new pieces, the limits and contexts of Irish nationalism are explored and its impact on both early modern society and later generations, examined. The volume illuminates political and religious developments within Ireland, and how these affected events across the British Isles and beyond.
