Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - First published in 1868, this book provides an intriguing memoir of Irish culture and society during and after the Potato Famine. W. Steuart Trench (1808-72) studied agriculture with a view to becoming a land agent: having taken on this role for the Shirley estate in Monaghan in 1843, he eventually managed Irish estates for the Marquess of Lansdowne in County Kerry, for the Marquess of Bath and for Lord Digby. His book, a series of stories of everyday (and some extraordinary) events in nineteenth-century Ireland, purports to give the English public a clear and truthful account of the daily occurrences and difficulties experienced by an Irish landlord and his agent. The book also contains detailed appendix material, including letters describing the devastating effects of the famine (1845-52). The work was immediately successful, with five reprintings (of which this reissue is the third) within twelve months of publication.

8vo. pp. xiv, 411. with half-title. 30 lithographed plates after drawings by J.Townsend Trench. folding coloured map of Ancient Ireland in rear pocket. contemporary half calf (joints & extremities rubbed, repairs to map folds no loss, some light to moderate foxing to plates & adjacent leaves). Second Edition. The author was Land Agent in Ireland to the Marquess of Lansdowne, the Marquess of Bath, and Lord Digby. "Trench's experience of the management of Irish land ranged from the period immediately prior to the famine to that of Mr. Gladstone's first Land Act, and in 1868 the interest which was then aroused in the social condition of Ireland led him to give to the public the record of his experiences in a book entitled 'Realities of Irish Life.' His activity of mind, shrewdness of observation, and thorough knowledge of the Irish peasantry, joined to very considerable powers of vivid and picturesque description, admirably qualified the writer for a work of this kind. The book was an immediate success, and passed through five editions in a twelvemonth. The 'Edinburgh Review' wrote of it: 'We know of no book which conveys so forcible and impressive a description of the Irish peasantry,' and that 'the scenes are depicted with the popular force, humour, and pathos of Dickens in his best and earliest works.' " (DNB).
