The shape of Irish history
"In an exploration of the essential structure of what is called 'Irish history', A.T.Q. Stewart looks at some unlighted areas and asks provocative questions about popular misconceptions. Even where such misconceptions have been refuted by academic research, he argues, the information has not percolated into the general domain because modern historians, writing mainly for one another, have lost the wider audience." "Criticising his own profession for purporting to be scientific while largely ignoring the implications of, for example, scientific archaeology, Stewart issues a characteristically bold challenge to received views."--Jacket
