Moderator's note: The following list as well as previous postings under
the subject title of Irish Social History and Cromwellian Ireland are
being combined and filed in the H-Albion Gopher at UICU. I'll repost the
instructions on how to get there in a separate post.

In response to the request for books on Celtic social history, two recent
books on Ireland which include a significant social dimension are S. J.
Connolly, "Religion, Law and Power: The Making of Protestant Ireland
1660-1760" (Oxford University Press, 1992) and Thomas P. Power, "Land,
Politics and Society in Eighteenth-Century Tipperary" (Oxford University
Press 1993).
If your course includes Wales, you may want to look at David Howell,
"Patriarchs & Parasites: The Gentry of South-West Wales in the Eighteenth
Century" (University of Wales, 1986), Philip Jenkins, 'The Making of a Ruling
Class: The Glamorgan Gentry 1640-1790" (Cambridge University Press, 1983) and
J. Gwynfor Jones, "Early Modern Wales, c.1525-1640" (1994)
