Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the activities of early modern Irish migrants in Spain, particularly their rather surprising association with the Spanish Inquisition. Pushed from home by political, economic and religious instability, and attracted to Spain by the wealth and opportunities of its burgeoning economy and empire, the incoming Irish fell prey to the Spanish Inquisition. For the inquisitors, the Irish, as vassals of Elizabeth I, were initially viewed as a heretical threat and suffered prosecution for Protestant heresy. However, for most Irish migrants, their dual status as English vassals and loyal Catholics permitted them to adapt quickly to provide brokerage and intermediary services to the Spanish state, mediating informally between it and Protestant jurisdictions, especially England. The Irish were particularly successful in forging an association with the Inquisition to convert incoming Protestant soldiers, merchants and operatives for useful service in Catholic Spain. As both victims and agents of the Inquisition, the Irish emerge as a versatile and complex migrant group. Their activities complicate our view of early modern migration and raise questions about the role of migrant groups and their foreign networks in the core historical narratives of Ireland, Spain and England, and in the history of their connections. Irish Voices from the Spanish Inquisition throws new light on how the Inquisition worked, not only as an organ of doctrinal police, but also in its unexpected role as a cross-creedal instrument of conversion and assimilation.

Introduction Chapter 1: Littoral  Chapter 2: Planetarity  Chapter 3: Territory  Conclusion Bibliography

Sommario/riassunto

Bringing together concerns in border studies, the environmental humanities and Scottish literary studies, this open access book examines the relationship between borders and the environment in Scottish literature from the nineteenth-century to the present.   Developing an innovative methodology that approaches Scotland from an interdisciplinary perspective,  this book puts key debates in Scottish studies, literary theory, critical border studies and the environmental humanities into dialogue to highlight the critical intervention that Scottish literature can make in current theoretical discussions about borders and the environment.  Examining a range of literary texts from the nineteenth century to the present day, Scottish Literature, Borders and the Environmental Imagination proposes that the creative



possibilities of literature allow Scottish literary works to unpack key issues relating to borders and environmental concerns. It includes analyses of works by Walter Scott, Jules Verne, Nan Shepherd, Willa Muir, John Buchan, Alasdair Gray, Sarah Moss and offers a combination of theoretical discussions and in-depth case studies to show how writers reconfigure borders in connection with the Scottish environment.  The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
