Abstract
- The Cromwellian invasion of Ireland has not been famed for the value of its poetry, yet some of the soldiers, civil servants and divines that have been identified with and resisted the Cromwellian invasion and administration of Ireland did produce a discernable body of religiously orientated verse. This article outlines a context for this body of writing within the changing mentalities of Cromwellian Ireland, and offers a new model for the interpretation of Faithful Teate's Ter Tria (1658), alongside a reading of other principal texts, which emerged out of even as they shaped the experiences of invasion and administration in Cromwellian Ireland.
