Restoration Ireland: Always Settling and Never Settled, (Hardcover)

In recent decades, the historiography of early modern Ireland, particularly of the seventeenth century, has been revitalised. However, much of this new work has focused either on the critical decades of the 1640s or the Williamite wars, while the Restoration period still remains largely neglected. This volume provides an opportunity to explore the period between 1660 and 1688, and reassess some of the crucial events it witnessed. It provides a set of interrelated essays that not only addresses a gap in the history of the Restoration period, but also serves to take stock of the limited work that has been done on the period.
