Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"One treasured set of books brought together all that was known on the subject of ancient Ireland. Every source of information was tapped'. (Over 376 specific source documents are noted in volume two!)
The most comprehensive work by any scholar of the day - It deals with every conceivable area the author could uncover. Joyce gave exact references for all statements of importance found in this magnificent document.
This most valuable edition is the one published by Joyce after 10 years of intense review. He had 'carefully reread and reconsidered every sentence in the book' and made what few changes and corrections were necessary.

Every thing I ever wanted to know - and more !,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Social History of Ancient Ireland (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
It is amazing to have all these topics covered in this 2 book set. I found I was stopping to read it just for lessons in Irish history. Every 4 or 5 pages was another topic I had to find out about. Glad that this one has been published again. Three cheers for the publisher !

This review is from: A Social History of Ancient Ireland (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
One of the best history sources for all aspects of Ireland. Many 'tidbits' I have not seen before. A great job by Joyce!
