Summary

Analyses the construction and dissemination of the image conveyed of Irish society in the early nineteenth century

Additional text

Ó Ciosáin's analysis of the massive documentation is determinedly innovative, and yields many stimulating ideas ... Ó Ciosáin benefits from the wealth of the evidence relating to the nineteenth-century enquiries. In turn, though, the voluminous documentation has benefited from the rigour and scepticism with which he has reinterpreted it.
