Description
After the Famine examines Irish agriculture in the wake of the disastrous famine of the 1840s. Michael Turner's detailed study is in three parts: he analyzes changing agricultural structures in terms of land use and peasant occupancy; he estimates the annual value of Irish output; he assesses Irish agricultural performance in terms of several measures of productivity. These analyses question prevailing orthodoxies about income distribution, and make an important contribution to a controversial area of Irish and economic history.
Reviews'... a splendid and thought-provoking book. Its implications are deep and wide-ranging.' English Historical Review '... remains an impressive contribution to the economic history of Victorian and Edwardian Ireland.' Irish Studies Review
