Book Synopsis
This study of rural Ireland in the 1840s explicates the social, economic and demographic conditions of the era. The author argues that overpopulation and deprivation were inextricably linked to the rapid economic development of rural Ireland that was shaped by British interests.

Trade Review
The book is a pleasure to read; the analysis is logical, precise and nuanced; the wording, rich textured and apt. It is impossible in this space to report the variety and depth of the insights that pervade O'Neill's book. - Irish Literary Supplement; ""An unrivalled picture of one small part of pre-Famine rural Ireland."" - Mary E. Daly, Irish Historical Studies; ""An important contribution both to Irish history and to the demographic study of peasant societies in general."" - Journal of Social History
