Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry: Volume 2 by William Carleton ✓ In Stock

Description Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry can be considered to be Carleton’s greatest work. It went through a number of transformations before the ‘definitive edition’ was published in 1842-44. This edition was the last that Carleton actually oversaw; thus it is the culmination of his own work on the collection, and for this reason is the edition we publish. Traits and Stories contains a wealth of illustrations by famous illustra­tors of the time.

What he was describing was an Ireland of his youth that was passing or had already passed, hence his often lengthy annotations about the traditions, tales, customs and pas­times that he even then considered necessary for his readership. A fine ability to tell a story distinguishes Carleton from many contem­porary purveyors of folklore and folk life, and this contributed to his immense popularity in Ireland, England and across the Atlantic in the United States and Canada. There appeared over 50 editions of Traits and Stories, containing some or all the stories of the ‘Definitive Edition’, in the 19th Century alone. No other work of the first half of t
