Description
This book is a study of the Irish parliament as an administrative and legal institution. It is particularly interested in how parliament dispatched the business put before it, how its various parts interacted and how this colonial institution engaged with other elements of the administrative machinery both inside and outside the kingdom. -- .
Reviews
'Overall, Dennehy provides a comprehensive and convincing account of the Irish parliament as an institution, and this achievement is particularly impressive as the source material is often thin to the point of being threadbare.'
Parliamentary History
'This volume provides what will become the standard account of how the early-modern Irish parliament
worked.'
The Seventeenth Century
'[...] this book is a significant contribution to our knowledge about the Irish houses of parliament
and important reading for scholars and students of seventeenth-century Ireland.'
Irish Historical Studies
'This book provides an informed and useful guide to the procedures of seventeenth-century Irish parliaments from which those researching the parliamentary politics of the period will certainly benefit from reading.'
Parliaments, Estates and Representation
'Coleman Dennehys The Irish Parliament, 161389 is a very welcome addition to the historiography and should be essential reading for scholars with an interest in Stuart Britain and Ireland. This book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of legal history, Irish law, and the judiciary, as Dennehy places an emphasis on parliament as a legal body as well as one of governance and legislation. [...] This thoroughly researched monograph places the Irish Parliament in its rightful and proper place in early modern Irish history.'
