Dr Christopher Maginn received his PhD from the National University of Ireland, Galway. He has published extensively on the history of early modern Ireland and Britain. He is currently Associate Professor of History and Director of the Institute of Irish Studies at Fordham University in New York.
Maginn does a wonderful job of not allowing Anglo-Irish history to
overshadow Cecil or vice versa. Furthermore, though the amount of
correspondence that Cecil received in Ireland far exceeds that
which he sent to Ireland, Maginns discussion does not seem lopsided
at all. His careful selection of the correspondence succeeds in
providing an important piece of the puzzle that, when assembled,
allows for a holistic picture of Cecils career in Ireland.

This careful study will become the last word on Elizabethan policy
in Ireland.

... anyone wishing to understand William Cecil, English
imperialism, or the history of Ireland could do no better than to
begin with William Cecil, Ireland, and the Tudor State.
*Scott E. Hendrix, Sixteenth Century Journal*
Maginn is to be thanked for this study of the application of
Cecilian method to the matter of Ireland.
