A work of Irish urban history that studies the society and culture of townspeople, including their integration as citizens, their membership of fraternities, guilds and parishes and their charity. As civic leaders they forged political and confessional identities that set them at odds with church and state in mid-seventeenth century Ireland. -- .
Through a series of innovative perspectives, this book examines how early modern Irish townspeople experienced the urban world through a range of family and associational ties. Migrants inducted through town citizenship and marriage bonded more closely as sisters or brothers of confraternities and guilds, consolidating parish membership. Civic religion saw the integration of religion with town politics and councils, and monastic charity of the friars’ hospitals preceded the era of modern municipal welfare. In circumstances of the alienation of the long-settled Catholic townspeople from the state’s religious and political Reformation in the seventeenth century, they drew sustenance from the continuity of institutions such as colleges, fraternities and hospitals and forms of coexistence with Protestant fellow-citizens. -- .
