B. Smith 
Ireland and the English World in the Late Middle Ages [PDF ebook] 

This volume extends the ‘British Isles’ approach pioneered by Robin Frame and Rees Davies to the later middle ages. Through examination of issues such as frontier formation, colonial identities and connections with the wider world it explores whether this period saw the bonds between the British Isles weaken, strengthen, or simply alter.
