Adopting an international perspective the essays in this volume look at the motives methods and impact of enforcing the Protestant Reformation in Ireland and Scotland. The volume offers a fascinating insight into how the political authorities in Scotland and Ireland attempted with varying degrees of success to impose Protestantism on their countries. By comparing the two situations and placing them in the wider international picture our understanding of European confessionalization is further enhanced.
