This impressive survey covers the early history of Ireland from the
coming of Christianity to the Norman settlement. Within a broad
political framework it explores the nature of Irish society, the
spiritual and secular roles of the Church and the extraordinary
flowering of Irish culture in the period. Other major themes are
Ireland's relations with Britain and continental Europe, the
beginnings of Irish feudalism, and the impact of the Viking and
Norman invaders. The expanded second edition has been fully updated
to take into account the most recent research in the history of
Ireland in the early middle ages, including Ireland's relations
with the Later Roman Empire, advances and discoveries in
archaeology, and Church Reform in the 11th and 12th centuries. A
new opening chapter on early Irish primary sources introduces
students to the key written sources that inform our picture of
early medieval Ireland, including annals, genealogies and laws. The
social, political, religious, legal and institutional background
provides the context against which Daibhi O Croinin describes
Ireland's transformation from a tribal society to a feudal state.
It is essential reading for student and specialist alike.
