Ulster Since 1600

John Morrill, European History Quarterly Co-authored histories of Ulster are far from unknown, but this new one is probably the most intelligently planned and well executed and it is certainly pretty much up-to-date. ... an admirable account of the particularity of Ulster, of how it came to have its distinctive modern history, and why many of the legacies of its past, however attenuated, still have the power to haunt and to bite back.

Irish Times one of the most significant histories of Ulster published in the past couple of decades.

Irish Times ...because of the high quality of so many of its chapters, it surely has to be one of the most significant histories of Ulster published in the past couple of decades...This is the great merit of the book: each chapter provides an audit of research on a clearly defined area, a showcase, a distillation of the scholarly work of many.

Eoin McLaughlin, Journal of Sottish Historical Studies This book is a useful survey of literature in a variety of sub-fields in the history of Ulster and will make a useful textbook for undergraduate and post-graduate courses in Irish history and Irish studies broadly defined.
