Description
"This is the first engagement in one book by a geographer with the most formative and revolutionary period (c. 1530-1750) in Ireland's history. Using the intertwined concepts of 'colonialism' and 'early modernity', the book comprises a geographical analysis of the conquest and settlement of Ireland by the New English (and Scottish). The consequences of this often violent intrusion upon the cultures and landscapes of pre-existing Irish societies are examined. The geographies of resistance or accommodation to conquest and colonisation and the striking cultural continuities and hybrid cultural forms that emerged from these encounters are explored and regionalised." "The use of available sources is expanded to include many manuscript maps and surveys as well as an analysis of the geography of names and language changes generally. The book seeks to invoke the lost voices of the dispossessed, to convey some sense of the trauma experienced by the Gaelic (especially) and Old English communities in Ireland as well as the trauma suffered by settler communities in the 1641 rising/rebellion. The narrative is enhanced by the use of close to 100 highly original maps by the author. Based on the vast documentary sources of the 17th century, these reveal many hidden Irelands."--BOOK JACKET.
