This fascinating and innovative study explores the lives of people
living in early modern Ireland through the books and printed
ephemera which they bought, borrowed or stole from others. While
the importance of books and printing in influencing the outlook of
early modern people is well known, recent years have seen
significant changes in our understanding of how writing and print
shaped lives, and was in turn shaped by those who appropriated the
written word. The author finds that a set of revolutions took place
which transformed the lives of the Irish in unexpected ways, and
that the rise of writing and the spread of print were central to an
understanding of those changes which have previously only been
understood to have been the result of conquest and colonisation.
This is a book which will be read not only by those interested in
the Irish past but by all those who are concerned with the impact
of communications media on social change. -- .
