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. In numbers,
evictions declined dramatically after the mid-1850s, but in terms
of media attention and political import they reached their zenith
in the 1880s after the founding of the Irish National Land League.
When tenantry defended their abodes, reporters and artists flocked
to the scene and their descriptions of these conflicts form the
central part of this book. Drawing on memoirs, ballads, poems,
folklore and novels and providing numerous illustrations of
contemporary prints and photographs, Curtis provides the first
book-length study of rural evictions over a period of sixty years.
