Book Synopsis
In the years between the Great Famine of the 1840s and the First World War, Ireland experienced a drastic drop in population. This book offers an inquiry that explores the options that presented themselves to Ireland's younger generations, taking into account household structure, inheritance, religion, and especially emigration.
