A powerful play about the effects of Oliver Cromwells military campaign in Ireland - a ruthless conquest whose folk memories still sit uncomfortably in the Irish psyche. Winner of the John Whiting Award for Drama In the 17th century Cromwell moved English troops into a war-weary Ireland; forcing the local inhabitants onto barren land as the English gentry took over their homes. The cruelty of this racial persecution is brought into sharp focus through the tragic love of an Englishman for a local Irish woman. Does for 17th-century Anglo-Irish history what Arthur Miller did for 17th-century New England history - Sunday Times A finely written play; full of sharp observation - Independent on Sunday

Thematically well done and the personal reflections of the essay authors provide depth. Many of the authors seem to pine for the old dirty; gritty city as do I. A definite read.1 of 5 people found the following review helpful. timely bookBy Anne-Louisethis book is not only timely; but thoughtfully done -- a wide variety of essays; questions; thoughts. Accessible to non-academics; and not pedantic at all.
