Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the experiences of Irish Catholics under a legal system favoring the English state and Anglo-Protestants during Restoration Ireland. It highlights the contrasting approaches of Catholic clerics, such as Oliver Plunkett's non-confrontational stance versus the more assertive tactics of figures like Nicholas French. By analyzing primary sources, including Irish-language literature and the recovery of estates by Catholic families, it reveals the complexities of Catholic engagement with a hostile legal environment and the resilience of Catholic lawyers.
