Description:
Dublin: Economic and Social History Society of Ireland, 1985. Reprint ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, figure, spine ends slightly rubbed, bottom corner rear cover creased. 48 pp. This booklet by W. E. Vaughan is about the relationship between Ireland's landlords and the country's 500,000 tenants. It surveys the striking changes that have taken place in the views of historians of the issue, and in the historical evidence that has been used. The old picture of the predatory landlord and exploited tenant has gradually been replaced by a more balanced but more puzzling one. The Land War itself, once presented as financial disaster for the gentry and economic emancipation for the tenants, is written about here as a social rather than an economic turning point.

Description:
London: Verso, 1997. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good plus dustjacket), minimal edgewear. 172 pp. This collection of essays by the Irish journalist (Irish Times) is drawn from his writings over two decades. Its portraits of people - talk-show hosts, priests, children, pop stars - and its reports of social and political upheaval, reveal a country still in search of itself, but more at ease with the complexities of its own make-up; a country whose buried memories, tourist myths and current contradictions might now be reworked to forge a truly modern Irish identity. Discusses how Ireland is a country constantly building and rebuilding its own identity, particularly in the 1990s. Ireland has changed to such an extent that it can now boast a greater 1996 per-capita GDP than the UK and a real place in the global economy.
