This first major book on consumption in eighteenth-century Ireland
takes its lead from Brewer, McKendrick and Plumb's "The Birth of a
Consumer Society" in its investigation of food and drink, new urban
housing, newspapers and linen. But as with many other areas of
Irish culture and society, consumption cannot be separated from the
problems of Anglo-Irish relations, and therefore an appreciation of
these political overtones is vitally important. The book will
address three very broad questions. First it will explore how the
study of consumption can be applied to Irish society and culture,
and more particularly its political scene. Second it will examine
the significance of British attitudes towards Irish patterns of
consumption in the context of eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish
relations. Finally it will look at the way Ireland's position in
the British empire determined the relationship between politics and
consumption.
