"The editors are effective in their stated aim 'to mix ... the study of Irish history with that of other places, ideally to the benefit of both.' [The] contributors build their essays on extensive research and have established publication records. Their insights highlight how history can be fruitfully examined from a cross-cultural perspective in order to inform Irish historiography." Irish Studies Review April 2007
