{"product_id":"9781784996604","title":"The Scots in early Stuart Ireland: Union and separation in two kingdoms","description":"By exploring Irish-Scottish connections during the period 1603-60 this book brings important new perspectives to the study of the Early Stuart state. Acknowledging the pivotal role of the Hiberno-Scottish world, it identifies some of the limits of England's Anglicising influence in the northern and western 'British Isles' and the often slight basis on which the Stuart pursuit of a new 'British' consciousness operated.  Regarding the Anglo-Scottish relationship, it was chiefly in Ireland that the English and Scots intermingled after 1603, with a variety of consequences, often destabilising for English, Scots and Irish. The importance of the Gaelic sphere in Irish-Scottish connections also receives much greater attention here than in previous accounts. This Gaedhealtacht played a central role in the transmission of religious radicalism, both Catholic and Protestant, in Ireland and Scotland, ultimately leading to political crisis and revolution within the British Isles.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152526688496,"sku":"9781784996604","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784996604_p0.jpg?v=1763727159","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784996604","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
