Publisher's Synopsis
The 'Maynooth Studies in Local History' have brought about a quiet revolution in Irish local studies, and have changed the larger landscape too. Working from fascinating and little-known sources, and mobilizing the resources of energetic and imaginative scholarship, an extraordinary range of subjects has been identified, illuminated, and brought into focus. These publications not only explore little-known local episodes and phenomena; they constitute a major contribution to the mainstream of Irish history.
