Castles in Ireland: Feudal Power in a Gaelic World de T.E. McNeill

Castles in Ireland: Feudal Power in a Gaelic World

Autor T.E. McNeill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2000
The castles of Ireland are an essential part of the study of medieval Europe, but were, until recently, a subject neglected by scholars. A lord's power and prestige were displayed in the majesty and uniqueness of his castle. The remains of several thousand castles enable us to reconstruct life in Ireland during these crucial centuries.
Castles in Ireland tells the story of the nature and development of lordship and power in medieval Ireland. Ireland formed the setting to the interplay of the differing roles of competing lordship: English and Irish; feudal European and Gaelic; royal and baronial. Tom McNeill argues that the design of the castles contest the traditional view of Ireland as a land torn by war and divided culturally between the English and Irish.

Recenzii

'This perceptive and often witty book is a challenge to the new generation of Ireland's medieval archaeologists and historians, for the answers to the many problems Tom McNeill poses lie still in the ground, or in the standing fabric of Ireland's 3,000 or so castles, awaiting the spade or the enquiring eye.' - Times Literary Supplement

'A meticulously researched and scholarly combination of archaeological investigation and interpretation of the wider socio-political context of the construction of castles and the purposes to which they were put.' - Republican News

'Castles in Ireland is the most careful and scholarly book to be written on castles for a generation. As such, it is a major step forward for castle studies.' - Antiquity

'Informed readers will be stimulated by this book and the less knowledgeable will find much to interest and surprise them. A most commendable and comprehensive study.' - Transactions of the Ancient Monument Society

'Stimulating and readable. It sets out the particular nature of Irish castelology with clarity, and, in the process, explains the nature of medieval Irish Power bases and networks the book is handsomely produced. It will be the standard work for many years to come.' - Archaeological Journal
