The period c. 1200-1600 was marked by the achievements and decline
of the Anglo-Norman colony in Ireland, refashioning of Gaelic elite
identity, Reformation, and reassertion of English control that led
to Plantation projects, bringing new people and ideas to the
island. This collection explores the complexities and predicaments
of identity, and the cultural practices used to express and
underpin them in this key period, ranging from the micro-scale and
personal to the macro-scale emergence of ideas of national
identity. The authors consider the extent to which there was a
relational character to identities in Ireland, whereby senses of
being were constructed through engagements with others, and how the
power of the past, in both framing and providing stability for
identity formulations, is explicit in the ways in which groups
intentionally evoked their own histories and connections to place,
to reaffirm and bolster identity and solidarity. Cultural practices
could become naturalised through repetition and, as reflections of
identity, they were formed, transformed or abandoned when necessary
or expedient.
