In England andWales Cromwell is regarded as a figure of national importance; in Ireland hisreputation remains highly controversial. The essays gathered together here providea fresh take on his Irish campaign, reassessing the backdrop and context of theprevailing siege warfare strategy and offering new insights into other majorplayers such as Henry Ireton and the Marquis of Ormond. Other topics include,but are not limited to, the Cromwellian land settlement, deportation ofprisoners and popular memory of Cromwell in Ireland. Overall, a pictureemerges of a more moderate Cromwell than the version that has been passed downin Irish history, tradition and folklore.
