Product Description
From the Author
Elizabeth Smith - a Scotswoman's view of I19th, c. Ireland
Elizabeth Smith was the Scottish born wife of a County Wicklow landlord who kept a daily record of household, local, national and even international events, a remarkable contemporary record of life in Ireland immediately before and during the Great Famine. Written for her children and never anticipating that it might one day be published, her comments about people and events are refreshingly frank and uninhibited.
Elizabeth Smith - a Scotswoman's view of I19th, c. Ireland
Elizabeth Smith was the Scottish born wife of a County Wicklow landlord who kept a daily record of household, local, national and even international events, a remarkable contemporary record of life in Ireland immediately before and during the Great Famine. Written for her children and never anticipating that it might one day be published, her comments about people and events are refreshingly frank and uninhibited.
She and her husband put their estate at risk in their efforts to help their starving tenants to survive the four-year long famine, but much of this book simply describes what it was like to live in Ireland at the time, as described by an intelligent, independent-minded, down-to-earth Scotswoman who, though she lived in Wicklow for fifty five years, viewed Ireland with the fresh eyes of an outsider.
---------------
"As an eye-witness account of the Famine this book would be hard to beat. The result is a picture that is vivid, penetrating and immediate". The Cork Examiner.
"Fascinating reading [and] a contemporary account of everyday life in mid-nineteenth century Ireland". - Irish Independent
"Elizabeth Smith’s frank opinions are augmented by a useful commentary by the editors and by numerous maps and photographs of the places mentioned". - The Irish Times.
