the historiography of the Irish language is vibrant at the moment, and Aidan Doyle has made a very constructive contribution to it. Niall O Ciosain, Historical Sociolinguistics


This volume is an important contribution to not only the history of the Irish language, but of Ireland itself. It provides, for the first time in English, a comprehensive look at the links between language, culture, politics and religion in Ireland for the last 800 years. --Linguist List
