Imagining Ireland's Pasts: Early Modern Ireland through the Centuries

Autor Nicholas Canny
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2024
Imagining Ireland's Pasts describes how various authors addressed the history of early modern Ireland over four centuries and explains why they could not settle on an agreed narrative. It shows how conflicting interpretations broke frequently along denominational lines, but that authors were also influenced by ethnic, cultural, and political considerations, and by whether they were resident in Ireland or living in exile.Imagining Ireland's Pasts details how authors extolled the merits of their progenitors, offered hope and guidance to the particular audience they addressed, and disputed opposing narratives. The author shows how competing scholars, whether contributing to vernacular histories or empirical studies, became transfixed by the traumatic events of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as they sought to explain either how stability had finally been achieved, or how the descendants of those who had been wronged might secure redress.

Recenzii

A landmark contribution to Irish historiography, it is essential reading for anyone interested in how Irish history has been remembered and used to serve present purposes down through the centuries.
Thanks to Canny's compendious survey , histories which made a limited impact when first they appeared will now gain more. Those who reflected on the mayhem sought to fit it into patterns already provided by humanist, classical, providential or apocalyptic templates. All this Canny traces methodically.
This is an ambitious and excellent account of Irish historical writing on a specific era and is, essentially, a reflection on the development of an enduring strand of Irish intellectual life over four centuries.
The book provides a brilliant picture of Irish historical writings as sharing continuities across the longue duree even as they remained heterogeneous, contested and deeply of their moment.
