Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The second edition of Steven Ellis's formidable work represents not only a survey, but also a critique of traditional perspectives on the making of modern Ireland. It explores Ireland both as a frontier society divided between English and Gaelic worlds, and also as a problem of government within the wider Tudor state. This edition includes two major new chapters: the first extending the coverage back a generation, to assess the impact on English Ireland of the crisis of lordship that accompanied the Lancastrian collapse in France and Engl∧ and the second greatly extending the material on the Gaelic response to Tudor expansion.

"Extensively revised and expanded version of a book first published in 1985 under the title Tudor Ireland"--P. viii.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
