- Abstract
Nicholas Canny's book, "Imagining Ireland's pasts: early modern Ireland through the centuries," provides a comprehensive survey of the interpretations of early modern Ireland from the 16th to the 19th century. Canny explores the impact of the Renaissance and Reformation on the writing of history in Ireland, highlighting the contrasting perspectives of Protestant and Catholic historians. He also examines the role of key figures such as Richard Stanihurst, Edmund Campion, David Rothe, Philip O'Sullivan Beare, and Thomas Leland in shaping historical narratives. Canny emphasizes the complex relationship between historical interest and present-day concerns, demonstrating the enduring importance of early modern Irish history.
