Bibliography
This is a welcome book on an important topic curiously
understudied: the actions and mental worlds of elites from Ireland
who went into exile after the wars of the 1640s.
*RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY*
A refreshing, culturally aware review of prominent figures. [A]n
engaging study.
*HISTORY*
Always entertaining. ... Mark Williams has rescued the continental
endeavours of leading Irish royalists from oblivion. His greatest
achievement is that he has sharpened our understanding of British
royalist ideology during the revolutionary years.
*THE IRISH TIMES*
[A] elegantly crafted first book. ... Mark Williams has cast light
on a neglected aspect of the Civil Wars and his book is a
significant contribution to our understanding not just of this
important period of our history but also of the 17th century as a
whole.
*LITERARY REVIEW*
The author offers compelling evidence of an exiled Irish Royalist
community where commitment to the Stuart cause was shaped less by a
clearly defined ideology than it was by pragmatic and complex
alliances as courtiers battled to adapt and remain relevant in an
ever-changing environment. In doing so, Williams has raised more
questions that need to be asked of English royalism during this
period.
