Short History of Dublin

Pat BoranÆs account is a canter through Dublin in all the ages of prehistory and history: as Viking settlement, medieval town and capital of colonized Ireland. Many of the events to which the city was host were tragic û tragic too was the poverty and disease that was rife until well into the twentieth century. But Dublin had its eras of glory û architectural, literary and political û and the author charts these too, with great affection.
