A New History of Ireland, Volume I marks the culmination of the
largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. It consists of
nine volumes, by over a hundred contributors, mainly historians but
including also historical geographers and specialists in other
disciplines, such as language and literature, the visual arts, and
music. Seven of the volumes are text, and deal not only with
politics but also with economic, social, and cultural history. The
other volumes contain maps and reference material. As the final
volume to appear in this multi-volume series, A New History of
Ireland Volume I brings to a close the project initiated by T. W.
Moody and R. Dudley-Edwards in the 1960s, to provide a
comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect
of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and
archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, and down to the
present day. Volume I begins by looking at geography and the
physical environment. Chapters follow which examine pre-3000,
neolithic, bronze-age and iron-age Ireland and Ireland up to 800.
Society, laws, church and politics are all analysed separately as
are architecture, literature, manuscripts, language, coins and
music. The volume is brought up to 1166 with chapters, amongst
others, on the Vikings, Ireland and its neighbours, and opposition
to the High-Kings. A final chapter moves further on in time,
examining Latin learning and literature in Ireland to 1500.
