Review
"Anyone who wants to know anything about Ireland between 1169 and 1534 should begin here. Irish historiography still lags behind that of many medieval fields, and this impressive volume, with its extensive bibliography, will help the field catch up a bit. It will remain the definitive survey of the period for years to come and possibly, given the pace at which these volumes appear, forever."--Speculum
"Never before has the political history of 'medieval' Ireland been presented at such length and with such accuracy."--Catholic Historical Review
"No short review could do justice to the magnificent second volume of The New History Of Ireland. It covers political, economic, cultural and religious history with a remarkable thoroughness, sustaining uniformly a quality of scholarship and clarity of expression superior to that in any other symposium history known to this reviewer."--Scottish Historical Review
"Includes much important research and many new insight and interpretations."--English Historical Review
"Constitutes a landmark on the Irish historical scene."-- Irish Times
