Rezensionen
Dáibhí Ó Cróinín's Early Medieval Ireland is the only comprehensive treatment of the first centuries of Irish history up to the coming of the Normans. In its second revised and significantly updated edition, it surveys early medieval Irish landscape, society, culture, politics, and now also the written documents that inform the analysis. Its scholarly depth provides the specialist with new insights into an understudied age. Its lucid structure renders this volume an ideal textbook for students. Its engaging style makes it a compelling reading for anybody interested in one of the most fascinating periods of Ireland's history.
