Strangers To That Land: British Perceptions of Ireland from the Reformation to the Famine

Andrew Hadfield,John Mcveagh

Strangers to that Land is a critical anthology of English, Scottish and Welsh colonists’ and travelers’ accounts of Ireland and the Irish from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, from the Reformation to the Famine. The anthology consists exclusively of eyewitness descriptions of Ireland given by writers using English who had never been to Ireland before and were seeing the country for the first time. Each extract, where necessary, is set in context and briefly explained. The result is a vivid, continuous record of Ireland as defined and judged by the British over a period of four centuries.
