Opis

This study of rural Ireland in the years leading up to the Great Hunger of the 1840s explicates the social, economic and demographic conditions of the era. The author argues that overpopulation and deprivation were inextricably linked to a third variable - the rapid economic development of rural Ireland that was shaped by British interests.
