’... this collection represents a strong and vital contribution to the study of Restoration Ireland. The high level of analysis, detail, and scholarship in each essay, coupled with the accessibility of the writing, ensures that this volume is worthy of attention from specialists and undergraduates alike.’ Renaissance Quarterly '...a useful contribution to our knowledge and giving ample grounds for optimism about the future of Irish Restoration studies.'
