The Daughters of the First Earl of Cork
Based on the recovery and analysis of the letters and private papers of the wife, daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters of Richard Boyle (1566-1643), first earl of Cork, this book examines how these women perceived and wrote their lives as individuals and as members of their famous family. The book explores the theme of identity through close readings of the extant texts from a number of perspectives: the figuration of Ireland; gender; the impact of civil war rupture; Protestantism; and legacy-making. This original showcasing of the Boyle women's largely forgotten female-voiced texts further illuminates how these women used the occasion of family writing and record-keeping to develop self-presentation strategies that allowed them to situate their lives at the centre of the transformations that were taking place in early modern Ireland and Britain.

Letterbook of George, 16th Earl of Kildare
The letterbook presented here consists for the most part of copies of the incoming correspondence of George Fitzgerald (1612-1656/7), 16th earl of Kildare, from 1628, when he was sixteen years of age, to 1634, with a few later items. The letters deal principally with matters arising from the acquisition of George's wardship by Richard Boyle, 1st earl of Cork, in 1629 and the attainment of his majority in 1633, but the ever-present theme is the condition of the Kildare estates.The letterbook is in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. The text is supplemented by a transcription of BL MS Add. 19337, a schedule of lands in Ireland belonging to the earl of Kildare and relations but in the possession of others. This was to be used to identify and discover lands affected by an ongoing dispute with Lady Lettice Digby.
