{ "item_title" : "The story of an Irish property", "item_author" : [" Robert S Rait "], "item_description" : "Behind one remote Irish estate lies the story of a country struggling to own its soil. One estate, a whole nation. In The Story of an Irish Property, historian Robert S. Rait follows the fortunes of a single property across generations of landlords and tenants, revealing how law, custom and power shaped everyday life in rural Ireland. Using meticulous archival research, he turns one case study into a clear, humane introduction to the economic history of Ireland and to the bitter conflicts of landlord and tenant Ireland. At once an Irish land history book and a piece of agrarian history non fiction, it offers a tightly focused portrait of Irish property ownership history during decades of agitation, uncertainty and reform. As an early twentieth-century Irish land question study, Rait's work sits close to the great land reforms and gives readers essential Irish land reform background. Its close-up treatment of one estate doubles as a concise rural Ireland history, rich in insight into social structures, legal change and Irish estate history. Accessible prose and careful documentation make it ideal for Irish history students and a reliable reference for historians of Ireland. Irish agrarian history readers, collectors of classic economic and social studies, and anyone curious about rural Ireland history find in these pages a striking combination of narrative drive and scholarly precision. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/35/360/787/9353607876_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "21.62", "online_price" : "21.62", "our_price" : "21.62", "club_price" : "21.62", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
