"Ireland and the Renaissance Court represents an important and first-of-its-kind contribution to our understanding of the political governance, cultural politics and interconnections that took place between courts in early modern Ireland and England. The book's use of Irish-language sources, innovative methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and keen insights makes it an essential collection, and one that will influence the field for years to come."Prof. Sarah Covington, Queens College and the Graduate Center, CUNY -- .
