The book investigates the significance of the Irish Monastic Schools that flourished prior to 900 A.D., aiming to uncover their contributions to education and culture during the Early Middle Ages in Ireland. It emphasizes the unique combination of native Irish culture, Christianity, and Graeco-Roman culture that characterized these institutions and their role in maintaining and advancing learning during a period often overshadowed by the decline after the Fall of the Roman Empire. At the start of the study, Graham discusses the challenges of understanding the state of learning in Ireland during pre-Christian times, noting the limited contemporary evidence available and relying on various sources such as archaeology and early Irish literature. He introduces the reader to significant elements of native culture, including the existence of laws and written traditions long before the advent of Christianity. He sets the context for a detailed exploration of the Irish Monastic Schools' roles in education, outlining the critical influence they had not only in Ireland but also in shaping the landscape of learning throughout Western Europe during a key transitional period.
