Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into Irish history from the time of Ireland's earliest known inhabitants up to the eve of its invasion by the English under King Henry the Second. The author, a dedicated historian, challenges the notion that Ireland was a relatively primitive land before the arrival of the English. Through a meticulous analysis of written and archaeological records, the book reveals the richness and complexity of ancient Irish society. It examines how an early Celtic people, the Tuatha de Danann, introduced agricultural practices and a sophisticated spiritual tradition that entwined the natural world with a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Their long reign was ultimately broken when a new wave of Celts, the Milesians, arrived from the continent, bringing with them new technologies and a tradition of kingship that would shape the course of Irish history for centuries to come. The book offers a reassessment of the Irish past, showing that it was a land of great cultural and political achievement long before the arrival of Christianity.
