Title: LANDLORDS, TENANTS, FAMINE: THE BUSINESS OF AN IRISH LAND AGENCY IN THE 1840S
Description: "Desmond Norton's study of the relationships between landlords and tenants in Ireland during the Great Famine period of the 1840s is principally based on a large uncatalogued archive in private ownership of the Stewart & Kincaid land agents. Much of the information from this unique resource is being published for the first time. Norton challenges existing assumptions about landlord-tenant relations, emigration and land improvement during the famine decade."--BOOK JACKET.
