Medieval Ireland is often described as a backward-looking nation in
which change only came about as a result of foreign invasions. By
examining the wealth of under-explored evidence available, Downham
challenges this popular notion and demonstrates what a culturally
rich and diverse place medieval Ireland was. Starting in the fifth
century, when St Patrick arrived on the island, and ending in the
fifteenth century, with the efforts of the English government to
defend the lands which it ruled directly around Dublin by building
great ditches, this up-to-date and accessible survey charts the
internal changes in the region. Chapters dispute the idea of an
archaic society in a wide-range of areas, with a particular focus
on land-use, economy, society, religion, politics and culture. This
concise and accessible overview offers a fresh perspective on
Ireland in the Middle Ages and overthrows many enduring
stereotypes.
