The Catholic Church has been a very important presence in the history of modern Ireland. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are in a very real sense the time when it took on the form that made it such a weighty social force in the life of the nation.

This publication studies a community moulded by several forces. The two most important were the penal legislation and the mission of tridentine Catholicism. Within it, there were wide diversities of experience, diversities between one region and another, and diversities between the different social classes. The 'Penal Days' were indeed penal, but they were not quite the simple story of uniform deprivation that our legend would like to make them.
