'This is an extremely well-organised and comprehensive treatment of its subject matter ... crisp, precise style ... particularly useful as a reference for the hard-pressed undergraduate (or lecturer, for that matter) ... the great merit of this book is the transparency and rigour of its lineof argument which, combined with the impressive organisation of material, will allow readers to draw their own conclusions and construct their own counter-arguments.'Tommy Graham, History Ireland, Spring 1993, "An evenly paced, well organized, and concise overview of the conditions in Ireland....Connolly has presented an interesting, informative, and thought-provoking view of Ireland in the eighteenth century."-- The Historian "This is an important book for students of early 18th-century Ireland."-- Choice "A scholarly and detailed examination of those political, religious, legal, social, and economic forces that operated to create "Ascendancy" Ireland.-- Albion "The decades covered by this book, especially those after 1700, have been perhaps the most neglected period in modern Irish history....Connolly's efforts to assemble the materials to write such a volume as this have been heroic, and the result is amply worth the effort....It is clearly the book we have been waiting for."-- Irish Literary Supplement "A major work that will be central to discussion of the subject for decades to come."-- American Historical Review, 'groundbreaking study ... Connolly ... makes a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing debate on "Ireland as colony" ... Religion, Law and Power is a scholarly and detailed examination of those political, religious, legal, social, and economic forces that operated to create "Ascendancy"Ireland.'Albion Summer 1993, Vol 25 No 2, 'Written with commendable lucidity, the book is laced with frequently memorable quotations, the product of extensive original research. It has zest and freshness which makes much of what has gone before ... seem stale and old-fashioned. It is also enlivened by Connolly's combative approach.'Kevin Whelan, The Irish Times, 'Connolly's work is a fresh and stimulating examination of the century in which the structure and problems of modern Ireland took shape ... He is immensely well-informed, extracting the gold from the waste of earlier research and augmenting it with his own extensive accumulation. Thediligence of his research is matched by the ingenuity of the questions he poses, his challenges to accepted orthodoxies and his convincing reassessments. All this is combined with an elegant style and a lightness of touch which makes the book exceedingly readable.'J.L. McCracken, Durban, EHR, Apr '93, 'it reflects exhaustive research ... Its arguments are skilfully presented and thought-provoking ... the overall quality of the analysis is impressive.' Gerard O'Brien, Fortnight 49, "An evenly paced, well organized, and concise overview of the conditions in Ireland....Connolly has presented an interesting, informative, and thought-provoking view of Ireland in the eighteenth century."--The Historian "This is an important book for students of early 18th-century Ireland."--CHOICE "A scholarly and detailed examination of those political, religious, legal, social, and economic forces that operated to create 'Ascendancy' Ireland."--Albion "The decades covered by this book, especially those after 1700, have been perhaps the most neglected period in modern Irish history....Connolly's efforts to assemble the materials to write such a volume as this have been heroic, and the result is amply worth the effort....It is clearly the book we have been waiting for."--Irish Literary Supplement "A major work that will be central to discussion of the subject for decades to come."--American Historical Review "This book constitutes a major revision of the history of eighteenth-century Ireland that is both fresh and provocative. In both its overall framework and more specific statements it is guaranteed to offer a research agenda for scholars seeking either to confirm or refute this picture of eighteenth-century Ireland for many years to come."--Journal of Modern History, 'a book which is brimming with suggestive ideas that deserve further investigation ... There are fascinating glimpses ... of the shared entertainments of the gentry and their native Irish tenants in music and sport.'Irish Review, Issue 13, 'S.J. Connolly has written a very readable book on Protestant Ireland 1660-1760, which establishes its author as an accomplished master of the historian's craft ... not least of the book's value is its very wide range of sources, which add to the compelling strength of its argument.'Times Higher Education Supplement, 'this is an important book for students of early 18th-century Ireland'H.T. Blethen, Western Carolina University, Choice, Feb '93, 'Connolly writes well and in general persuasively ... The book is the outcome of a prodigious amount of research and - as vital - of thought and it is filled with new information, new insights and provocative conclusions. Undoubtedly, Connolly's book represents a major attack on the colonialmodel for Irish history: and those historians and literary critics who have used colonialism and its legacy to explain everything from begrudgery to banditry, from heavy drinking to theological conservatism, will have to come to terms with his arguments. ... after Sean Connolly's book,eighteenth-century Ireland will never be the same again.' Thomas Barlett, Linen Hall Review Winter 1992, "An evenly paced, well organized, and concise overview of the conditions in Ireland....Connolly has presented an interesting, informative, and thought-provoking view of Ireland in the eighteenth century."--The Historian"This is an important book for students of early 18th-century Ireland."--CHOICE"A scholarly and detailed examination of those political, religious, legal, social, and economic forces that operated to create 'Ascendancy' Ireland."--Albion"The decades covered by this book, especially those after 1700, have been perhaps the most neglected period in modern Irish history....Connolly's efforts to assemble the materials to write such a volume as this have been heroic, and the result is amply worth the effort....It is clearly the book we have been waiting for."--Irish Literary Supplement"A major work that will be central to discussion of the subject for decades to come."--American Historical Review"This book constitutes a major revision of the history of eighteenth-century Ireland that is both fresh and provocative. In both its overall framework and more specific statements it is guaranteed to offer a research agenda for scholars seeking either to confirm or refute this picture of eighteenth-century Ireland for many years to come."--Journal of Modern History, 'His book reflects the growing maturity and sophistication of 18th-century Irish studies. Religion, Law and Power is an admirable achievement, unleashing a very active cat amongst the historiographical pigeons.'Kevin Whelan, The Irish Times, February 1993, "An evenly paced, well organized, and concise overview of the conditions in Ireland....Connolly has presented an interesting, informative, and thought-provoking view of Ireland in the eighteenth century."--The Historian "This is an important book for students of early 18th-century Ireland."--Choice "A scholarly and detailed examination of those political, religious, legal, social, and economic forces that operated to create "Ascendancy" Ireland.--Albion "The decades covered by this book, especially those after 1700, have been perhaps the most neglected period in modern Irish history....Connolly's efforts to assemble the materials to write such a volume as this have been heroic, and the result is amply worth the effort....It is clearly the book we have been waiting for."--Irish Literary Supplement "A major work that will be central to discussion of the subject for decades to come."--American Historical Review

Synopsis
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., This is a study of religion, politics, and society in a period of great significance in modern Irish history.

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-industrialized society, in which social order depended less on a ramshackle apparatus of coercion than on complex structures of deference and mutual accommodation, along with the absence of credible challengers to the dominance of a landed élite; 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., This is a scholarly and wide-ranging study of a period of great significance in 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.
