Book Synopsis Pre-Famine Ireland by : Desmond Keenan
Book excerpt: This book describes the social and economic conditions in Ireland during the first half of the nineteenth century--that is up to and including the Great Famine. It is concerned about particular issues like the Catholic emancipation or the famine but looks at Irish society as a whole. Central and local government are described: the economy (agricultural and industrial), the churches, the educational system, the medicine, the arts, the music, and the sports. It aims at presenting, as complete a picture as possible, Ireland at the time.
