Irish Catholicism, 1500-1750
Researcher: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin
I am currently in the preparatory stages of this project which will involve the production of a monograph on the subject of the evolution of Early Modern Irish Catholicism. In my first book for Oxford University Press, I have already made a close examination of catholic reform in Ireland in the second quarter of the seventeenth century. That study outlined a trajectory for the Irish counter-reformation different to that which has customarily been accepted but a wider focused book is undoubtedly necessary to establish the long term continuity of the number of themes which I outlined.
