Making Ireland British, 1580-1650

"This is the first comprehensive study of the settlements implanted in Ireland by English and Scottish people during the years 1580-1650. The arguments advanced by successive political figures in favour of a plantation policy for Ireland are examined, as are the responses which this policy elicited from the several segments of the population of Ireland. Attention is also given to practical considerations that have had a bearing on colonization schemes in all places and at all times; staking a claim to resources, recruiting suitable settlers, and fashioning a new society and economy."--Jacket.
