First sentence: More Irish than the Irish themselves - hiberniores Hibernicis ipsis - the great cliche of Irish history and yet how few studies there have been of the process whereby we arrive today at a nation speaking a form of English but permeated by Celtic thought and modes of behaviour.
Description: The assimilation of English colonists to Irish ways. Descriptions of families of traditionally pro-government families (Butlers of Ormond) intermarried with Celtic neighbours. The curious fate of the Bagenal family is cited. Discussion of alignments forced on the Irish land-owning class, and politico-religious directions in which given landed families moved.
Notes: Meticulous geneologies culled from various editions of BURKE, the "G.E.C" Peerage and Baronage; from the Dictionary of National Biography; and from Lodge's Peerage of Ireland. Data has been checked as much as possible through such sources as the Calendar of State Papers, the Patent Rolls, and the Annals of the Four Masters. English rather than Irish form of names has been used, thus Hugh O'Neill not Aodh O Neil, and so forth. Particulars are researched of forfeiting proprietors in mid-seventeenth century, persons transplanted, from O'Hart. Bibliography provided. Author notes in an acknowledgement : "I thank my friend Dr Stacey Day who first suggested that I write this book, and without whose help and encouragement it would certainly never have been completed".
