📱 eBook en inglés IRELAND UNDER THE TUDORS (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Ireland under the Tudors (Vol. 1–3) offers a sweeping, source-led history of the Tudor reconquest from Henry VII to Elizabeth Is final campaigns. Drawing on the Calendars of State Papers, royal correspondence, and Irish annals, Bagwell narrates rebellions (Kildare, Desmond, ONeill), church reform, and the machinery of governance—surrender and regrant, presidencies, martial law, plantation. The style is lucid, judicious, and unmistakably Victorian, balancing chronological clarity with documentary analysis and keen portraits of actors and institutions. An Anglo-Irish historian and public figure from County Tipperary, Bagwell wrote amid the Home Rule controversies, seeking to ground contemporary politics in archival fact. Trained in law and active in historical scholarship (including contributions to the Dictionary of National Biography), he paired administrative expertise with diligent work in the Public Record Office. This trilogy remains a cornerstone for students of early modern Ireland and Tudor state-building. Use it for its comprehensive narrative and deep citation, while reading critically for perspective. As a companion to newer social and postcolonial studies, it furnishes a rich quarry of evidence and a durable interpretive benchmark.
