End of Hidden Ireland Rebellion, Famine, and Emigration

"The subject of this engrossing and imaginative study is the townland of Ballykilcline, county Roscommon, in the west of Ireland....This complicated story of 'the Ballykilcline rebellion'--as the rent strike was known--is a microcosm of the deterioration of life on Irish land in the first half of the 19th century....Robert James Scally combines the labor of an archivist with the speculative verve of an historian of mentalities. It is not merely the material facts and social conditions of peasant life that he provides, though these are described in depth. He also attempts to limn the mindset of the peasantry and that of their numerous overlords."Scally, Robert is the author of 'End of Hidden Ireland Rebellion, Famine, and Emigration', published 1996 under ISBN 9780195106596 and ISBN 0195106598.
