Produktbeschreibung

This innovative study explores the financial relationship between the Irish Catholic Church and its laity from about 1850, when the Church grew wealthy. Focusing on the motivations, experiences and emotions of the ordinary people who gave the money, it asserts their agency in the phenomenon of the post-Famine 'devotional revolution'.
