A clear, readable look at Ireland’s craft, trade, and struggle under English rule. This book presents the long history of Ireland’s arts, textiles, navigation, and commerce, and shows how English policy shaped the island’s economy and society. It also situates these facts within a larger argument for Ireland’s rights and national self‑determination.
Thomas Addis Emmet’s work traces Ireland’s early skill in wool, linen, and other industries, alongside the country’s complex trade with Europe. It explains how taxation, legal restrictions, and political power affected ordinary Irish people and their livelihoods. The book also includes discussions of Catholic rights, religious conflict, and the legal framework that governed Ireland for centuries.
With a focus on concrete events and policy, the volume argues that trade and industry were tangled with politics and oppression, and it presents a persuasive case for reform and national unity.
Ideal for readers of Irish history, political economy, and reform-era movements.
