Description
Maps and texts: evualuating the Irish Historic Towns Atlas, edited by H.B.

The book contains comparative essays on Irish towns in thematic sections.
The IHTA is the leading authority for Irish comparative urban studies. Maps and texts examines various components of town-type and town-life in Ireland from monastic foundations to Victorian towns. By using the IHTA series, experts offer their insights on urban life such as the impact of the environment, religion, castles and the big house, the coming of the canal and railway, military barracks and public buildings on Irish towns. Case studies on Derry~Londonderry, Dublin and Limerick are also presented alongside an art-historical perspective of Anglo-Norman, Gaelicised and plantation towns.

Clarke, Frank Cullen, Sarah Gearty, Rob Goodbody, David Fleming, Raymond Gillespie, Andy Halpin, Brian Hodkinson, Arnold Horner, Annaleigh Margey, Rachel Moss, Margaret Murphy, Coilin O Drisceoil, Nollaig O Muraile, Jacinta Prunty and Catherine Swift.
