Ireland in the Age of the Tudors, 1447-1603 (Longman History of Ireland) by Ellis, Steven G. G.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780582019010.

The second edition of Steven Elliss formidable work represents not only a survey, but also a critique of traditional perspectives on the making of modern Ireland. It explores Ireland both as a frontier society divided between English and Gaelic worlds, and also as a problem of government within the wider Tudor state. This edition includes two major new chapters: the first extending the coverage back a generation, to assess the impact on English Ireland of the crisis of lordship that accompanied the Lancastrian collapse in France and England; and the second greatly extending the material on the Gaelic response to Tudor expansion.
