The last generation has seen a veritable revolution in scholarly
work on Elizabeth I, on Ireland, and on the colonial aspects of the
literary productions that typically served to link the two. It is
now commonly accepted that Elizabeth was a much more active and
activist figure than an older scholarship allowed. Gaelic elites
are acknowledged to have had close interactions with the crown and
continental powers; Ireland itself has been shown to have occupied
a greater place in Tudor political calculations than previously
thought. Literary masterpieces of the age are recognised for their
imperial and colonial entanglements. Elizabeth I and Ireland is the
first collection fully to connect these recent scholarly advances.
Bringing together Irish and English historians, and literary
scholars of both vernacular languages, this is the first sustained
consideration of the roles played by Elizabeth and by the Irish in
shaping relations between the realms.
