Spanish-Irish relations through the ages

Declan M. Downey & Julio Crespo MacLennan editors

This collection of essays, the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Spanish-Irish Relations, held in Salamanca in 2004, is representative of a whole new historiographical approach to and revision of the study of Irish history from Continental European sources (in this case Spanish sources). The contributors provide new and exciting insights based on original source material, into the cultural, economic, diplomatic and political dimensions of the centuries-old relationships between Spain and Ireland. The chronological scope of this collection incorporates the medieval, early modern and modern/contemporary periods.

Declan M. Downey lectures in Modern European & Asian History at University College Dublin. Julio Crespo MacLennan is head of studies at the Instituto Universitario Ortega y Gasset, Madrid.
