Kingdoms united?

Great Britain and Ireland since 1500

S.J. Connolly

In recent years there has been growing interest in the contrasts and parallels between the development of Ireland and that of its closest neighbours: England, Scotland and Wales. Discussion, however, has concentrated primarily on political and constitutional issues. This collection of essays looks instead at other areas of development: in particular, at economic development, language and culture, and the law.

S.J. Connolly is Professor of Irish History at Queen's University, Belfast.
