The Book of Howth: Elizabethan Conquest and the Old English - Hardcover

by Valerie McGowan-Doyle (Author)

This study provides the first sustained address of The Book of Howth and its compiler, Christopher St. Lawrence, 7th baron of Howth (ca. 1510-1589). The Book of Howth ultimately offers a unique and extended Old English perspective on colonial conflict, displacement and identity formation in response to the Tudor question of "failed" conquest and the measures of reform government it generated.
