Description
The development of Ireland's cities between 1600 and 1800 is a story of remarkable transformation. This period saw Dublin and Cork rise to prominence, while other urban centers also underwent significant physical, social, and cultural change.
David Dickson explores the evolution of ten Irish cities, examining how their patterns of growth were influenced by the legacies of a violent past. The book reveals how these cities became distinctive and had an influence beyond Ireland's shores through the Irish diaspora.
Beautifully illustrated, this account provides a unique insight into the history of Ireland's urban centers during a pivotal period in the country's development.
