ISBN10: 1603847413, ISBN13: 9781603847414, [publisher: Hackett Publishing Co, Inc, Cambridge, MA] Softcover Paperback. 'Impressive. . . The introductory essay alone is worth the price of the book. In just 17 pages, Dworkin offers a survey of Anglo-Irish history that conveys the complexity of the topic while at the same time remaining clear, highly readable, and accessible to beginning students. He recognizes that "Irish" cannot be equated with "Catholic" and "nationalist," and rightly emphasizes the importance of region and class as well as religion in shaping the modern history of the Irish nations. The introductions that accompany each primary source excerpt keep to the high standard of the opening essay: the right amount of detail for contextualization and comprehensibility, without overwhelming the reader. The selection of excerpts is solid.'Meredith Veldman, Louisiana State University Traces the origins and development of the conflict during the years of the legislative union between Britain and Ireland. This volume provides both a history of the conflict and a discussion of its causes; headnotes and footnotes set each selection in historical, political, and cultural context, and identify those terms and names.
