This book is meant to be useful and readable. It assumes some
experience in ordinary historical techniques, but no expert
knowledge. In discussing the various kinds of source material for
early Irish history, the problems each kind raises and the sort of
questions it will answer, the author discusses many of the major
historical issues. Her book is therefore not so much a
bibliographical guide as a work of historical analysis and
discussion. It deals with the main sources of Irish history between
c. 400 and c. 1170, and has nine chapters: on archaeology (with
appendices on aerial photography and coins), the secular laws,
ecclesiastical legislation, the annals (with an appendix on the
genealogies), secular literature, ecclesiastical learning,
hagiography, art and architecture, eleventh- and twelfth-century
histories and compilations. A bibliography and index complete the
book.
