The Irish Hedge School And Its Books, 1695-1831

The Irish Hedge School And Its Books, 1695-1831
This definitive book studies the hedge schools and texts that were common in the country for over one hundred and thirty-six years. For most of that time, they worked underground due to the strictures of the Penal Laws. The state regarded their reading books as objectionable. In fact their books were an eclectic mix of romantic chapbooks, as well as the best available literature of the eighteenth century, purchased by parents as cheap piracies of expensive English originals. This book should be of interest to historians and educationalists alike, plus those interested in Irish society from the seventeenth century onwards.
