<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published by Allen Lane, The Penguin Press, 2000"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There can be few European communities more soaked in their bloody history than the Province of Ulster, but the Catholic and Protestant communities' faulty understanding of their past has had ruinous effects on the lives of its inhabitants. In <i>The Catholics of Ulster</i>, Marianne Elliott slices through this dense thicket of obscuring myth, lies, and half-truths and emerges into the relative clarity of history. Some of Elliott's provocative claims include: There was no such thing as a Gaelic Catholic race. The Catholic gentry was decimated through conversion to Protestantism, not exile and dispossession. Catholic landowners often welcomed Scottish and English tenant farmers in Ulster. The English were not as culpable as previously claimed in exacerbating the Potato Famine. Arriving at a fragile juncture in the uncertain peace process, <i>The Catholics of Ulster</i> is sure to spark great controversy, inflame passions, and provoke spirited debate.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marianne Elliott</b> is Professor of Modern History and Director of the Institute of Irish Studies at Liverpool University. She is the author of an acclaimed biography of Wolfe Tone, which won the Irish Times/Aer Lingus nonfiction award. She lives in Liverpool.
