Irish villages

Studies in local history

Karina Holton, Brian Ó Daláigh & Liam Clare, editors

This significant book is the first attempt to understand the problems of evolution in Irish villages from the local perspective. These essays contrast and compare particular villages from a wide geographical and temporal range, dealing with landlord, industrial, fishing and medieval villages.
