Dispossession has a long and tortuous history in Ireland, reaching back to the eleventh century.
In the Victorian era, evictions became major social, cultural and political events, especially with the notorious clearances of the Great Famine years.
Drawing on memoirs, ballads, poems, folklore and novels, this book studies rural evictions.
