Description:
The Elizabethan conquest of Ireland sparked off two linguistic events of enduring importance.

In Language and Conquest in Early Modern Ireland, Patricia Palmer explores the part which language played in shaping colonial ideology and English national identity. The book is an ambitious, comparative study which will interest literary and political historians.
