Ruth Dudley Edwards presents a rich and authoritative panorama of Irish civilization, weaving together political, social, demographic, and economic threads into a cohesive cartographic narrative, supported by the expert maps of W.H. Bromage. From the ancient kingdoms and Viking incursions to the horrors of the Great Famine, the struggle for independence, and the bitter partition of the island, each chapter illuminates a defining chapter of Irish identity with striking clarity.\n\nEdwards, a celebrated Irish historian and biographer renowned for her incisive scholarship, argues through maps, charts, and concise commentary that geography is not merely backdrop but the very engine of Irish history. An Atlas of Irish History stands as an indispensable reference work for students, scholars, and general readers alike, offering a perspective on Ireland's past that no conventional narrative history can replicate. For anyone seeking to understand why Ireland is the way it is today, this atlas poses one compelling question: how much of a nation's destiny is written in its landscape?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203321635035,"sku":"2026200013319-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f5f7ba7a-ba84-444f-a9b6-6ac0b731c3ec.png?v=1788147822","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013319-secondhand-an-atlas-of-irish-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
