Summary:

Encompassing the historic nine counties of Ulster, this major new anthology charts the history, politics, and culture of a territory that is acknowledged to be complex, contrary, and deeply resistant to hard-and-fast definitions. Containing over one thousand extracts, and spanning more than three centuries, the anthology assembles an abundance of comment, description, argument and appraisal, allowing the voices of poets, scholars, historians, commentators, musicians and more, to present an astonishingly rich and subtle picture of the people and life of the province. Compiled and edited by acclaimed critic and writer Patricia Craig, the anthology is a tour de force - breathtaking in scope, magisterially orchestrated, rich in insight, and full of unexpected surprises and delights.
