During this period of immense social and political change, they came to grips with the processes of modernisation. By focusing upon east Galway, it argues that they were not an inarticulate mass, but rather, they were sophisticated and politically aware in their own right. This study relies upon a wide array of sources which have been utilised to give as authentic a voice to the lower classes as possible. Their experiences have been largely unrecorded and this book redresses this imbalance in historiography while adding a new nuanced understanding of the complexities of class relations in provincial Ireland. This book argues that the actions of the rural working class and nationalists has not been fully understood, supporting E.P. Thompson?s argument that ?their aspirations were valid in terms of their own experiences?. 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aSocial history 606 $aLabor?History 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aLabor History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/725000 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aLabor?History. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aLabor History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a363.80941509034 700 $aCasey$b Brian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058702 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299788403321 996 $aClass and Community in Provincial Ireland, 1851?1914$92502000 997 $aUNINA
