Resumo

Teaching medieval history in the 21st century, particularly Irish medieval history can be a challenging task. Most people identify better with more recent historical periods, finding it too complex to comprehend the distant past and its historical sources. Another factor that quite often makes the teaching of medieval history difficult is the lack of good textbooks. While there are a number of useful textbooks on early Irish history, Ireland in the Medieval World AD 400-1000 will greatly assist lecturers in guiding their students through their learning of this fascinating period of Irish history.
