Produktbeschreibung
Irish inhabitants of the 'four obedient shires' - a term commonly used to describe the region at the heart of the English colony in the later Middle Ages - were significantly anglicised, taking on English names, dress, and even legal status. However, the processes of cultural exchange went both ways. This study examines the nature of interactions between English and Irish neighbours in the four shires, taking into account the complex tensions between assimilation and the preservation of distinct ethnic identities and exploring how the common colonial rhetoric of the Irish as an 'enemy' coexisted with the daily reality of alliance, intermarriage, and accommodation. Placing Ireland in a broad context, Sparky Booker addresses the strategies the colonial community used to deal with the difficulties posed by extensive assimilation, and the lasting changes this made to understandings of what it meant to be 'English' or 'Irish' in the face of such challenges.

Autorenporträt
Sparky Booker is a Lecturer at Queen's University Belfast and specialises in medieval Irish social, cultural and legal history. Her publications have examined the interactions between the English of Ireland and the Irish in the later Middle Ages, and explored intermarriage, sumptuary law, ecclesiastical patronage and the Irish in urban society. Recent work examines female litigants in medieval Ireland, and analyses litigant strategies and the influence of wealth, status, ethnicity and gender on women's legal activities. Booker is keenly interested in public history and, as a member of the Friends of Medieval Dublin, was co-founder and co-editor of the Tales of Medieval Dublin lecture series and accompanying book.
