Irish Distress and Its Remedies (Classic Reprint): The Land Question; A Visit to Donegal and Connaught in the Spring of 1880 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore the West of Ireland’s land question through a keen observer’s 1880 field journey. This nonfiction account documents distress in Donegal and Connaught, the work of relief funds, and the day‑to‑day realities of tenant farming during a pivotal era.
With firsthand notes from a visitor who tracks charity efforts, parish life, and the twists of land ownership, the book sheds light on how distress shaped communities, governance, and social reform. It blends travelogue with social inquiry to illuminate the era’s pressing questions about tenancy, reform, and rural livelihoods.
- How relief funds operated across different local systems and the practical impact on families.
- Descriptions of small holdings, tenancy practices, and the challenges of sustaining a household on limited land.
- Observations on work, debt, and the role of landlords and non‑resident ownership during hardship.
- Context for debates on fixity of tenure, land acts, and emigration as responses to distress.
Ideal for readers of historical social reform, Irish history, and 19th‑century travel and inquiry.
