Why was Ireland the only region in Europe which successfully
rejected a state-imposed religion during the confessional era? This
book argues that the anomalous outcome of the Reformations in
Ireland was largely due to an unusual symbiosis between the Church
and the old bardic order. Using sources ranging from Gaelic poetry
to Jesuit correspondence, this study examines Irish religiosity in
a European context, showing how the persistence of traditional
culture enabled local elites to resist external pressures for
reform.
