Book Synopsis After the Famine by : Michael Turner
Download or read book After the Famine written by Michael Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Famine examines the recovery in Irish agriculture in the wake of the disastrous potato famine of the 1840s, and presents an annual agricultural output series for Ireland from 1850 to 1914. Michael Turner's detailed 1996 study is in three parts: he analyses the changing structure of agriculture in terms of land use and peasant occupancy; he presents estimates of the annual value of Irish output between 1850 and 1914; and he assesses Irish agricultural performance in terms of several measures of productivity. These analyses are placed in the context of British and European agricultural development, and suggest that, contrary to prevailing orthodoxies, landlords rather than tenants were the main beneficiaries in the period leading up to the land reforms. After the Famine is an important contribution to an extremely controversial area of Irish social and economic history.

Book Synopsis Ireland and the Land Question 1800-1922 by : Michael J. Winstanley
Download or read book Ireland and the Land Question 1800-1922 written by Michael J. Winstanley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pamphlet makes use of the most recent revisionist literature to reassess the view, much propagated by nationalist sources, that Ireland was a land of impoverished peasants oppressed by English laws and absentee English landlords. The land question has always been closely linked to the development of Irish national consciousness, and greatly exercised the minds of English politicians in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The author examines the nature of English understanding of Irish problems, which was often limited or ignorant, and attributes to it much of the unsound and ineffective ligislation passed. The book is concerned less with questions of English party politics than with the situation in Ireland itself and with the nature of the English response to it.

Book Synopsis Reforming food in post-Famine Ireland by : Ian Miller
Download or read book Reforming food in post-Famine Ireland written by Ian Miller and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reforming food in post-famine Ireland: Medicine, science and improvement, 1845–1922 is the first dedicated study of how and why Irish eating habits dramatically transformed between the famine and independence. It also investigates the simultaneous reshaping of Irish food production after the famine. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws from the diverse methodological disciplines of medical history, history of science, cultural studies, Irish studies, gender studies and food studies. Making use of an impressive range of sources, it maps the pivotal role of food in the shaping of Irish society onto a political and social backdrop of famine, Land Wars, political turbulence, the First World War and the struggle for independence. It will be of interest to historians of medicine and science as well as historians of modern Irish social, economic, political and cultural history.

Book Synopsis Graziers, Land Reform, and Political Conflict in Ireland by : David Seth Jones
Download or read book Graziers, Land Reform, and Political Conflict in Ireland written by David Seth Jones and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much of the recent writing on agrarian society in Ireland has concentrated on the peasantry, there also existed alongside the small farmers (and still exists today) another significant group of land occupiers. These were extensive farmers, commonly known as graziers or ranchers, who held large tracts of land and engaged in cattle and sheep grazing. In fact, certain areas of Ireland have been for generations mainly populated by graziers. They have been a cornerstone of the cattle and sheep industry, and thus a vital force in Ireland's agricultural economy. Their importance grew as the country shifted from a tillage- based to a pasture-based economy during the nineteenth century. Yet until now graziers have not been the subject of extensive study. Here David Seth Jones examines the ranching system and its role in the far-reaching political, social, and economic changes that overtook Ireland during the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. Much of his inquiry relates to the period from 1880 to 1914, which includes the rise of the so- called ""eleven-month system,"" the land war, the anti-grazier agitation, and the commencement of a program of land distribution. The first part of this study considers the economic characteristics of ranch farming, its development, and the origins and position of the grazier in the rural community. Particular attention is given to the graziers' dependence and influence upon the land market. The latter part of the book examines how they responded to and were affected by the struggle for land reform and land distribution, and it deals at length with the rise of the anti-grazier agitation after 1900 and the ensuing program of distribution of ranch land. The study concludes with an examination of why the graziers failed to gain acceptance in the Irish agrarian community. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, including rental and farm accounts and other personal records (diaries, letters, notebooks, daybooks, as well as many official documents), this long-awaited, highly original study sheds much-needed light on the important role of the graziers in Irish history. It will be valuable reading for both scholars and students of Irish economic, social, and political history. David Seth Jones earned a Ph.D. in politics from Queen's University of Belfast in 1977. For three years he served as a professional officer in the Department of Agriculture of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, and for a further three years was a university lecturer in southern Africa. He is now senior lecturer in political science at the National University of Singapore, where he has taught since 1982.
Book Synopsis The Land and the People of Nineteenth-Century Cork by : James S. Donnelly Jr
Download or read book The Land and the People of Nineteenth-Century Cork written by James S. Donnelly Jr and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1975. Using estate records, local newspapers and parliamentary papers, this book focuses upon two central and interrelated subjects – the rural economy and the land question – from the perspective of Cork, Ireland’s southernmost country. The author examines the chief responses of Cork landlords, tenant farmers and labourers to the enormous difficulties besetting them after 1815. He shows how the great famine of the late 1840s was in many ways an economic and social watershed because it rapidly accelerated certain previous trends and reversed the direction of others. He also rejects the conventional view of the land war of the 1880s, arguing that in Cork it was essentially a ‘revolution of rising expectations’, in which tenant farmers struggled to preserve their substantial material gains since 1850 by using the weapons of ‘agrarian trade unionism’, civil disobedience and unprecedented violence. This title will be of interest to students of rural history and historical geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland, Agriculture and the War: An Open Letter to Irish Farmers I feel impelled this week to speak to you personally and directly on the circumstances brought about by the war which affect you as farmers, because from reports which have reached me by many channels, public and private, I am certain that immense numbers of you are unaware of, or do not realise, the new situation created, and that time is hurrying on rapidly to a point where a light will beat strongly on you and all your doings and the attention of the nation will be concentrated upon your class and the Way in which you discharge your functions in the national life. You all know that half the world is at war. Many of you realise it painfully and intimately through brothers, sons, kin or friends who are actual participants in the fighting. In that sense you need no more reminder that the world is at war, but you do not yet realise that you are more than onlookers, that you are called on to be participators in the struggle, not as combatants, but as part of that other noble army whose business it is in many ways to heal up the wounds of the combatants, to make good the wastage in society, and to ameliorate the evil effects of the war. What those working under the Red Cross do for all combatants alike, without distino tion betwe-em friend or foe of their country, you are called upon to do for society at large. Your occupation, always necessary in times of peace, in time of war, in periods of great human necessity stands out prominently and assumes its eternal position as the foremost, the most necessary, of all human occupations. The longer war continues the more does farming, normally hidden behind a hundred other occupations, come to the front. Men think little in times of plenty of the labours which bring them the food that enables them to live and work; but let there be shortage and a wild apprehension springs up in society and people realise that it is upon you and your labours that they depend altogether. You become the staff on which they lean. Every[ other occupation almost might disappear, but' yours never, without humanity disappearing! And any failure of yours in time of necessity to equal the need of the world inflicts the most terrible suffering on the world. Any neglect of duty in a time of necessity would be as ignoble as the act of a Red Cross contingent who on the battlefield neglected to attend to the wounded. The longer the war continues the more insistent will be the claims of the world upon you who can farm, you over whose fields no armies have marched, to supply the shortage of food brought about by the withdrawal of millions of your class in Europe to take part in a redder reaping than any the world has hitherto known.
