Froude, James Anthony. The English in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century, Volume I. London: Longmans, 1872

After the completion of his History of England, Froude began to research Irish history leading to the publication of The English in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century (1972). The work is strongly polemic, elevating Protestantism over Roman Catholicism. It attempts to justify the treatment of the Irish by the English, particularly under Oliver Cromwell. For Froude the troubles in Ireland were a result of too little English control with greater English presence needed to alleviate Ireland’s problems. It is unsurprising then that Froude’s works have been criticised, not only among the Catholic Church and Anglican High Churchmen, but also among historians of both England and Ireland.
