The book begins by introducing the complicated events leading to
the execution of Charles I in 1649 and then offers a detailed
analysis of the political experimentation which followed. Toby
Barnard argues that although the survival of the revolutionary
order was bound up with Cromwell, and collapsed after his death,
the regime defeated both its domestic and foreign enemies and was
more stable than has often been thought. The book also investigates
changes on the structures of power, on the ruling elites and in the
localities.

The first detailed scholarly study of this evocative period in Irish history, Cromwellian Ireland is now reissued in paperback with a new historiographical essay.
This collaborative volume considers the clergy of the Church of
Ireland before and after the 16th-century reformation and before
and after disestablishment in 1869. It analyzes many of the
challenges and crises faced by the clergy and how they responded,
as well as examining their routine pastoral activities. Less
familiar contributions to architecture, scholarship, education and
overseas missions are treated. Also, several memorable individuals
like Thomas Dames Gregg and Archbishop Magee receive close
attention. Intended as a companion to Gillespie & Neely (eds),
The laity and the Church of Ireland, 1000 2000 (2002), the book is
the first sustained attempt to do justice to the multifarious roles
of the Church of Ireland clergy throughout a millennium.
