Sommario/riassunto

In three short essays Emmet Larkin analyses the economic, social, and political context of nineteenth-century Ireland. He studies the growth of the Church's economic power in Ireland, the "1850-1875 devotional revolution", and the extent of the Church's political power and influence over Ireland.
