Abstract

"The Jesuit Mission in Early Modern Ireland 1560–1760" is a collection of essays edited by Mary Ann Lyons and Brian Mac Cuarta that explores the Jesuit contribution to the early modern Irish mission. The book addresses the challenges of accessing archival material related to the Jesuits' activities and highlights recent publications that have made this material more accessible to scholars. The essays cover various aspects of the Jesuit mission, including their role in urban areas, preaching, music, women's involvement, conversion work, exorcism, schooling, and international connections. While the book has a few minor omissions, it is a valuable resource for researchers interested in the Irish Jesuit achievement during the counter-reformation period. [Extracted from the article]
