Irish inhabitants of the 'four obedient shires' - a term commonly
used to describe the region at the heart of the English colony in
the later Middle Ages - were significantly anglicised, taking on
English names, dress, and even legal status. However, the processes
of cultural exchange went both ways. This study examines the nature
of interactions between English and Irish neighbours in the four
shires, taking into account the complex tensions between
assimilation and the preservation of distinct ethnic identities and
exploring how the common colonial rhetoric of the Irish as an
'enemy' coexisted with the daily reality of alliance,
intermarriage, and accommodation. Placing Ireland in a broad
context, Sparky Booker addresses the strategies the colonial
community used to deal with the difficulties posed by extensive
assimilation, and the lasting changes this made to understandings
of what it meant to be 'English' or 'Irish' in the face of such
challenges.
