Kingston explores the considerable flow of people, influence, and power from the western islands of Scotland to northeastern Ireland over the period from the defeat of Scots by defenders of the English lordship of Ireland in 1318 at Faughart, and the 1390s when the Mac Domhnaill of Antrim, Clann Eoin Mhoir, had transformed from retained warriors or seasonal mercenaries into locals.

Ulster Since 1600 surveys the history of the province from plantation to partition, and onwards from the formation of the Northern Ireland state to the 'Troubles' of recent decades. It synthesises existing historical knowledge and also brings new insights to bear on the political, social, and economic evolution of the province and its peoples. The word 'Ulster' conjures up images of communal conflict, sectarianism, and peace processes of indefinite duration but, as this volume shows, there is much more to the history of Ulster and its peoples. From the Plantation of Ulster in the early seventeenth century, the province has been home to three major ethnic and religious groups. It was this radically reconstituted society that produced a precociously early emigration to North America, that celebrated the outbreak of the French Revolution, and that in the Victorian era hosted Ireland's first industrial city. Its rural poor suffered destruction and death during the Great Famine of the 1840s, along with their counterparts in the south of Ireland. Its urban working classes had much in common with the industrial classes of England and Scotland, in terms of religiosity, popular entertainment, labour movements, gender, and family relationships. This multi-authored volume is a major contribution to the history of Ireland and to Ireland's contested place in the British and the wider world.
Scholars from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the US examine the dynamic nature of Ulster in the 17th and 18th centuries, the experience of migration, the development of economic strategies and community building in both Ulster and North America, and ethnic identity and cultural diffusion. The 11 essays were selected from biennial meetings of the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium since 1976. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This is a concise history of Ireland's most fascinating province, from pre-history to the establishment of devolved government in 1999 as a result of the peace process. It seeks to give an even-handed and accessible account of a region that has become associated with conflict but has also made an immeasurable contribution to science, to the arts and to the development of liberal nonconformist political thought.
During the present century, the term Ulster has come to signify the six counties of present-day Northern Ireland. Historic Ulster, however, was one of the four provinces of Ireland embracing in addition the counties of Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan. This concise account traces the long and varied history of the region, from the pre-Norman Celtic period to the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1986.
In the 1890s, Hugh Dorian completed a memoir which he entitled Donegal Sixty Years Ago. This volume presents this work, a century later, and provides a picture of 19th-century Irish society as observed by Dorian in Donegal.
The Catholic and Protestant communities' faulty understanding of their past has had ruinous effects on the lives of Ulster's inhabitants. In this definitive history, Elliott slices through this dense thicket of obscuring myth, lies and half-truths and emerges into the relative clarity of history. 30 halftones.
