description: This revised and expanded edition of the classic anthropological study of Ireland is the definitive work on the Irish peasant, his customs, beliefs, and way of life. The first study by an anthropologist of a "modern" society. THE IRISH COUNTRYMAN broke away from the then (1937) traditional areas of anthropological concern - ancient man's anatomy, physiognomy, and archaeological remains - and studied man's acts, thus signalling a shift in anthropological study which has lasted to the present.
