Historical Dictionary of Ireland, Hardback Book

Historical Dictionary of Ireland Hardback

Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Europe series

Hardback

Description

All places undergo change, but in few has this change been quite as sweeping as Ireland – both the independent Republic of Ireland and dependent Northern Ireland – so it is good to see where it is heading at present.

Obviously, that has to be judged on the background of where it is coming from, not only over the past decade or so but over centuries and, indeed, millennia.

This new edition of Historical Dictionary of Ireland is an excellent resource for discovering the history of Ireland.

This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography.

The cross-referenced dictionary section has over 600 entries on significant persons, places and events, political parties and institutions (including the Catholic church) with period forays into literature, music and the arts.

This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Ireland.
