Sea and Settlement in Ireland

Geraldine Stout & Matthew Stout

Sea and settlements in Ireland seeks to emphasise the crucial impact that maritime links had on settlement in Ireland. A multi-disciplinary volume, this publication includes research from 22 scholars, providing an international perspective on the importance of the sea and those who chose to cross it, as well as on Irish settlement studies. The history of settlement in Ireland is inseparable from the sea and the connections the sea provides, and this volume explores this relationship. This book encourages us to view the seas as a ‘uniting force’ rather than an obstacle to be overcome, and its various chapters cover a plethora of topics to support this."
