AUTHOR

Connolly, S. J.

SUMMARY

This is a study of religion, politics and society in a period of great significance i modern Irish history. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw the consolidation of the power of the Protestant landed class, the enactment of penal laws against Catholics, and constitutional conflicts that forced Irish Protestants to redefine their ideas of national identity. S. J. Connolly's scholarly and wide ranging study examines these developments and sets them in their historical context. The Ireland that emerges from his lucid and penetrating analysis was essentially a part of ancien régime Europe: a pre-industrial society in which the dominance of a landed elite depended on maintaining the balance between coercion, defence, and an absence of credible pretenders to power; in which the ties of patronage and clientship were often more important than horizontal bonds of shared economic or social position; and in which religion remained a central part of personal and political motivation.Connolly, S. J. is the author of 'Religion, Law, and Power The Making of Protestant Ireland 1660-1760' with ISBN 9780198205876 and ISBN 0198205872.
