About the Book

This is the first comprehensive study of all the plantations that were attempted in Ireland during the years 1580-1650. It examines the arguments advanced by successive political figures for a plantation policy, and the responses which this policy elicited from different segments of the population in Ireland. The book opens with an analysis of the complete works of Edmund Spenser who was the most articulate ideologue for plantation. The author argues that all subsequent advocates of plantation, ranging from King James VI and I, to Strafford, to Oliver Cromwell, were guided by Spenser's opinions, and that discrepancies between plantation in theory and practice were measured against this yardstick. The book culminates with a close analysis of the 1641 insurrection throughout Ireland, which, it is argued, steeled Cromwell to engage in one last effort to make Ireland British.

Review :
`Review from previous edition His comprehensive research on the extremely difficult and highly contentious 1641 depositions is especially noteworthy.' History Ireland `It is especially to be commended for its innovative use of a wide range of sources, both literary and documentary.' History Ireland, vol. 9, no. 4 `With Prof Canny, an expert captain, at the helm, the journey, if long, is smooth, enjoyable, enlightening and crowded with memorable incidents ... No one interested in being guided through the choppy waters of 17th-century Ireland can do without this craft.' Toby Barnard, Irish Times (Dublin), 16 June 2001 `a substantial achievement. It extends Nicholas Canny's particular contribution to Irish history, providing a whole series of new evidence and readings of familiar events, as well as stimulating fresh controversy and debate.' Andrew Hadfield, Times Literary Supplement
