Course Description:
The object of this module is to examine the formative phase of Irish history spanning the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Now commonly denominated the early modern era, the course will explore the varieties of strategies by which the interest known as the New English emerged as the dominant force, and how, it consolidated its authority at the expense of the Gaelic Irish, and, subsequently, of the Old English. Empowered by land confiscation and the demographic reinforcement that accompanied plantation, the New English was enabled to consolidate its authority. Key episodes in the process – the plantation of Ulster, the 1641 Rebellion, and the Cromwellian confiscation will be examined.
