Their impact on the modern history of Ireland and the United Kingdom cannot be captured by a simple conclusion that they became anglicized. Rather, Nicholas M. Wolf explores the complex ways in which the transition from Irish to English placed a premium on adaptive bilingualism and shaped beliefs and behavior in the domestic sphere, religious life, and oral culture within the community. \u003ci\u003eAn Irish-Speaking Island\u003c\/i\u003e will interest not only historians but also scholars of linguistics, folklore, politics, literature, and religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner, Michael J.
