County Wexford is commonly regarded as an anglicised county on the east coast of Ireland. Gaelic Wexford shatters that stereotype and presents an entirely fresh take on the history of the County, but written for the first time from an Irish language and Gaelic perspective. Three quarters of Wexford's recorded history was lived entirely through Irish rather than English: yet that history has been silenced and invisibilised. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere in 450 pages, 400 colour illustrations, and four thousand footnotes, Wexford Is presented in an entirely new light. Fresh archival discoveries from libraries all over the world unveil Wexford in ways that have never been recorded before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere for the first time, are detailed treatments of the quintessential Wexford families the Murphys, Doyles, Bolgers, Breens, Dorans, Keoghs, Kinsellas, Kavanaghs, and many more. The book offers a treasure trove of new genealogical sources - like a detailed listing by townland of over a thousand Wexford people in 1641, to vibrant portraits of colourful personalities: it also has a series of freshly recovered historical maps, including north Wexford in 1657 and a superb estate map from 1729 that covers the area from Enniscorthy to Wexford and new discoveries like the earliest drawing of the Hook lighthouse from 1730 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume explores the hidden history of Wexford: from big themes like its oak woods, coastline, and farmlands, to vivid vignettes of windmills, rabbit warrens, wolves and dovecots. It also offers detailed treatments of the history of Wexford, New Ross and Enniscorthy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a bold reimagining of the history of a remarkable county with a distinctive history and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cork University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782050827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.60w x 1.36d","brand":"Conchubhar \u0026#195;\u0026#147;.
