The Shape of Irish History Book

Distilling a lifetime's scholarship, this meditation on the nature of history challenges hitherto sacrosanct assumptions about Ireland's past.

Criticizing his own profession for purporting to be scientific while largely ignoring the implications of, for example, scientific archaeology, Stewart sets out to open up the closed shop of Irish history for the general reader.Read More
