This is a study of relations between landlords and tenants in
Ireland between the great famine and the land war. Based on a
remarkably wide range of primary sources, most notably collections
of estate papers, it is a comprehensive and wide-ranging analysis,
in which W. E. Vaughan explores evictions, rents, tenant right,
estate management, agrarian outrages, and tenants' resistance to
landlords. Dr Vaughan questions many assumptions about
landlord-tenant relations that hitherto have been uncritically
accepted. In place of the conventional image of predatory and
allpowerful landlords, and oppressed, impoverished tenants, Dr
Vaughan presents a scholarly and nuanced picture of complex mutual
accommodation, thus revising the traditional view of land relations
in nineteenth-century Ireland.
