The Story of the Irish Before the Conquest by Mary C. Ferguson is a comprehensive account of the history of Ireland before the arrival of the Normans in the 12th century. The book covers the period from the mythical times of the Tuatha De Danann and the Fir Bolg, through the arrival of the Celts and the establishment of the Gaelic kingdoms, to the arrival of the Vikings and the eventual invasion under Strongbow.The author provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and cultural developments that shaped Ireland during this period, including the role of religion, the emergence of the bardic tradition, and the impact of the Vikings on Irish society. She also explores the complex relationships between the various kingdoms and tribes that inhabited Ireland, and the conflicts and alliances that arose between them.Throughout the book, Ferguson draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient myths and legends, archaeological evidence, and historical accounts from both Irish and foreign sources. She also includes numerous maps and illustrations to help readers visualize the geography and culture of ancient Ireland.Overall, The Story of the Irish Before the Conquest provides a fascinating and informative account of a crucial period in Irish history, shedding light on the origins of Irish culture and identity.
