Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and longstanding issue of land ownership and its impact on the people of Ireland. The author, who travelled extensively throughout the country in the 1880s, provides a detailed and insightful examination of the Irish land system, exploring the historical roots of the problem and the social and economic consequences of its unequal distribution. The book traces the evolution of land ownership from the ancient Celtic tribal system to the English land laws implemented during the period of colonization. The author examines the role of landlords, both resident and absentee, and explores the various methods of land tenure including tenancies at will, leases, and middlemen. He sheds light on the plight of Irish tenants, their struggles with poverty, indebtedness, and the fear of eviction, and examines the various forms of resistance that arose in response to the oppressive land system. The author also explores the political and social context of the Irish land question, including the rise of tenant rights movements and the emergence of powerful figures like Charles Stewart Parnell. He delves into the dynamics of the Irish Land League, a crucial organization that spearheaded the fight for tenant rights during this turbulent period, and the impact of the Land Acts of 1870 and 1881 on the lives of ordinary Irish people. The book offers a valuable perspective on the complex interplay of historical, social, and economic factors that contributed to the Irish land question.
