Description: Stephen Gwynn's imagination was permanently shaped by the landscape of north Donegal, by contact with the local peasantry, by the experience of landed society in its last years of confidence before the Land War, and by meeting older Church of Ireland clergymen whose attitudes had been shaped before disestablishment. He remembered seeing Lord George Hill (qv), whom he described as revered and worthy of reverence, and Lord Leitrim (qv); while he thought that the latter possessed some good qualities, he recorded that no observer could fail to recognise how much better off his tenants became within a few years of his assassination.Starts with legendary times, st. Patrick, Saints, scholars, Brian Boru, St. Malachy, normans, Geraldines, and continues on to the birth of the Irish Free State. Large book, lots of good history written by an Irishman.
