Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This collection...offers a vivid and irregular perspective on the economic and social conditions of the Ascendancy. In a moderate and well paced introduction, the historical context in which the letters were written is reconstructed....and the specific private actions that score the narrative bring the author's personal and family experience into relief....the editors skillfully delineate Persse's unconventional attitudes toward political and social reform in prefamine Ireland...and Persse's nonsectarian approach to education and social achievement is also carefully explored."

Reseña del editor:

A customs official and distiller in Galway whose sons emigrated to America in 1821, Henry Stratford Persse's letters provide a striking account of Galway life, Irish misgovernment and American democracy during the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
