Inhaltsangabe

Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry can be considered to be Carleton’s greatest work. It went through a number of transformations before the ‘definitive edition’ was published in 1842-44. This edition was the last that Carleton actually oversaw; thus it is the culmination of his own work on the collection, and for this reason is the edition we publish. Volume 1 contains Professor Hayley’s foreword Carleton’s Auto-biographical Introduction – 'Ned M'Keown' – 'The Three Tasks' – 'Shane Fadh's Wedding – 'Larry M'Farland's Wake' – 'The Battle of the Factions' – 'The Station' – 'The Party Fight and Funeral' – 'The Lough Derg Pilgrim' – 'The Hedge School' – 'The Midnight Mass' – 'The Donagh', or 'The Horse-stealers' – 'Phil Purcel the Pig-Driver'

Reseña del editor

Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry is considered William Carleton's greatest work. No other work of the first half of the nineteenth century conveys so well the rural life of the period. Apart from being immensely entertaining, these stories are essential reading for the literary and history student of the period. These two volumes reprint the Definitive Edition of 1842-44 and include a wealth of illustrations by famous illustrators of the time.
