In this book, 13 distinguished historians of early modern Ireland
recreate the lost world of those who carved out a middle position
between the aristocracy and the tenantry of provincial Ireland.
These essays chart the sometimes uneasy relationships between local
and wider worlds, consider the societies that those in provincial
Ireland made for themselves, and document the material goods with
which they adorned the places they occupied. The book considers
aspects of the long 18th century, as diverse as music, wine
consumption, buildings, paintings, plasterwork, and print, as well
as the better-known subjects of the law, landlord improvement, and
literary patronage. It builds a fascinating picture of a restless
society trying to adapt itself to the needs of a complex and
divided world. It provides new insights and perspectives on a world
that is usually seen through the windows of the Parliament House or
the Episcopal Palace. In doing so, the book reveals much about the
texture of a world that is gradually coming to be understood as the
fascinating and complex society in which the middling sort sought
their own salvation in a vortex of political, economic, and
religious change.
