Imagining Ireland's Pasts describes how various authors addressed
the history of early modern Ireland over four centuries and
explains why they could not settle on an agreed narrative. It shows
how conflicting interpretations broke frequently along
denominational lines, but that authors were also influenced by
ethnic, cultural, and political considerations, and by whether they
were resident in Ireland or living in exile. Imagining Ireland's
Past: Early Modern Ireland through the Centuries details how
authors extolled the merits of their progenitors, offered hope and
guidance to the particular audience they addressed, and disputed
opposing narratives. The author shows how competing scholars,
whether contributing to vernacular histories or empirical studies,
became transfixed by the traumatic events of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries as they sought to explain either how
stability had finally been achieved, or how the descendants of
those who had been wronged might secure redress.
