Exploring Irish-Scottish connections in the period 1603-60, this
book brings important new perspectives to the study of the early
Stuart state. Acknowledging the pivotal role of the
Hiberno-Scottish world, it identifies some of the limits of
England's Anglicising influence in the northern and western
'British Isles' and the often slight basis on which the Stuart
pursuit of a new 'British' consciousness operated. Regarding the
Anglo-Scottish relationship, it was chiefly in Ireland that the
English and Scots intermingled after 1603, with a variety of
consequences, often destabilising. The importance of the Gaelic
sphere in Irish-Scottish connections also receives much greater
attention here than in previous accounts. This Gaedhealtacht played
a central role in the transmission of religious radicalism, both
Catholic and Protestant, in Ireland and Scotland, ultimately
leading to political crisis and revolution within the British
Isles. -- .
