These historians consider their influences and how their views have changed since the publication of their books, so that these essays provide an ethnographic study of historians' thoughts on the shelf-life of books exploring the way history is made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be of interest to historians of modern Ireland, and those interested in the revisionist debate in Ireland, as well as to sociologists and anthropologists studying Ireland or rural societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Attractively designed ... this is an invaluable and inspiring review of the land question and should be put in the hands of any student coming to the subject.' \u003cbr\u003eCarla King, St Patrick's College, Dublin City University, Irish Studies Review 23.2, 1 May 2015\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction and acknowledgements - Fergus Campbell\u003cbr\u003e Section I: Surveys \u003cbr\u003e 1.
