Summary: Thoughts on Munster
Comment: Michael Morrogh's 'The Munster Plantation' is the comprehensive guide to this potentially enormous subject. One can detect that a serious historian is at work. He handles his sources expertly and the vast range that he has discovered will surely delight any student of the period. But whilst being thorough, that does not stop it from being immensely readable. Michael Morrogh is a man I would sincerely like to meet in the flesh to discuss his theorries, as he comes across as being completely at ease with and intensely knowledgable on this subject.

Summary: A hagiography of the illumined work of this enigmatic Fenian
Comment: Dr Morrogh explores in lucid and entertaining detail the English emigration to Southern Ireland. Against the background of renaissance and upheaval, an unusual and fascinating phenomenon grew up. Morrogh illustrates how this goes against all our modern prejudices, and approaches the subtle changes in the Southern Irish character resulting from the immigrants' influence. The failure of protestantism to either assimilate or develop in the region, perhaps the most interesting issue in the book, is concisely and accurately described, if not fully explained. The work's greatest quality is its fluid, yet pleasingly mercurial style. Perhaps Morrogh's intention was to symbolise the transitory nature of the migratory processes. An author of prodigious and unexploited talent. One cannot help but wonder both why such a gifted historian does not hold a university chair and why he has failed to produce further works in this vein. Should he visit this web-site, I urge him to put pen to paper once more.
