Oxford, Eng.: Clarendon Press, 1995. viii, [4], 346 p.; 23½ cm. (9¼ inches). Paperback with illustrated front cover. Includes bibliography and index. First Paperback Edition. "This is a study of religion, politics, and society in a period of great significance in modern Irish history. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw the consolidation of the power of the Protestant landed class, the enactment of penal laws against Catholics and constitutional conflicts that forced Irish Protestants to redefine their ideas of national identity. Sean Connolly's lucid and penetrating analysis illuminates these developments and sets them in their historical context" [from the back cover]. ISBN 0-19-820587-2.
