Between 1641 and 1649, for the first time before 1922, Ireland was recognized by the international community as an independent nation. Even though the Cromwellian conquest of 1649 made short work of Catholic Ireland's revolution, it nevertheless ranks as one of the most successful revolts of early modern history. This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines how the tumultuous events of the 1640s and 1650s transformed the course of Ireland's intellectual, social, economic, military, tenurial and, of course, political history. The essays also seek to set Ireland in its wider European and British contexts.

Reviews & endorsements
"...by encouraging and/or assembling so much scholarship that deals productively with the complex issues of the Irish mid-century, she [Ohlmeyer] (and her contributors) have created the sense of a vital and comprehensive subject very far removed from Carlyle's impenetrable swamp. It is a commendable achievement." Albion
See more reviews"A short review cannot do justice to these contributions. They all add to our knowledge of Ireland at this time, and there is no doubt that they, along with other contributions to this book, will become the foundation of all future work on the Irish civil war and its outcome." Canadian Journal of History
