A Seat Behind The Coachman - Diarmaid O'muirithe

Description

'In this fascinating anthology of extracts from the notebooks of nineteenth-century travellers a vivid picture of contemporary Irish life is gradually pieced together. The grandeur and squalor of Dublin and the provincial towns, the miserable cabins of rural areas, drinking and fighting at Donnybrook Fair, Daniel O'Connell and Catholic emancipation, Father Mathew's temperance campaign, the hedge schools, the famine emigration - all are described by Englishmen such as William Thackeray, Henry Inglis and Philip Hardy, the celebrated German Prince von Puckler-Muskau, the American Clifton Johnson and the French Anne Marie de Bovet who included Ireland in their travels.'
