About This Book
A travelling correspondent presents a sequence of winter dispatches from western counties, documenting agrarian unrest, rent disputes, land meetings, evictions, and the growing use of social ostracism and boycotting. He provides on-the-ground sketches of episodes such as the relief of an isolated agent, character studies of tenants, landlords, and local leaders, and vivid scenes from Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, and Kerry. The pieces combine reportage, anecdote, and reflective observation, highlighting how humour, fear, intimidation, and practical defence measures mingle with deeper economic and social tensions in rural life.
