In recent decades, the historiography of early modern Ireland in
general, and of the seventeenth century in particular, has been
revitalised. However, whilst much of this new work has focused
either on the critical decades of the 1640s or the Williamite wars,
the Restoration period still remains largely neglected. As such
this volume provides an opportunity to explore the period between
1660 and 1688, and reassess some of the crucial events it
witnessed. For whilst it may lack some of the high drama of the
Civil War or the Glorious Revolution, this was a time that
established a political and social settlement, based upon the
maintenance of the massive land confiscations of the 1650s, that
would underpin the social and class structure of Ireland until the
end of the nineteenth century. Including contributions from both
established and younger scholars, this collection provides a set of
interlocking and interrelated essays that focus on the central
concerns of the volume, whilst occasionally reaching beyond the
chronological and thematic barriers of the period as required. The
result is a homogenous volume, that not only addresses a glaring
historiographical gap in critical areas of the Restoration period;
but also serves to take stock of the work that has been done on the
period; and as a consequence of this it will help stimulate and
provoke further argument, debate, and research into the history of
Ireland during the Restoration period. Directed primarily at an
academic audience, this collection will be useful to a range of
scholars with an interest in seventeenth century political, social
and religious history.
