End of Outrage

Post-Famine Adjustment in Rural Ireland

Beschreibung

Tells the absorbing story of post-famine Donegal, the Molly Maguires -- a secret society who had set themselves up against the exploitation of the rural poor -- and Patrick McGlynn -- an avaricious schoolmaster who turned informer on them, availing of hunger, disease, debt, hardship, and death to expand his holding at the expense of his neighbours.

Autor

Breandán Mac Suibhne is a historian of modern Ireland (PhD, Carnegie Mellon). His publications include, with David Dickson, The Outer Edge of Ulster (2000), an annotated edition of the longest lower-class account of Ireland's Great Famine. He was born in the community that is the focus of The End of Outrage, making it a particularly intimate and absorbing history of a small place in a time of great change.
