Letters of the Catholic Poor
«'[T]his is an original and thoughtful work, rich in insights and suffused with clear feeling for the lives it has examined. As such it makes a significant contribution to the history of poverty as to the history of popular writing and ordinary experience, in twentieth-century Ireland and Europe.' Niamh Cullen, Journal of Contemporary History»
This innovative study of poverty in Independent Ireland between 1920 and 1940 is the first to place the poor at its core by exploring their own words and letters. Written to the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, their correspondence represents one of the few traces in history of Irish experiences of poverty, and collectively they illuminate the lives of so many during the foundation decades of the Irish state.

«'This paperback edition of Lindsey Earner-Byrne's Letters of the Catholic poor … is thoroughly researched, well-presented and situates the experience of the Irish Catholic poor in the interwar period in a broader European context … the book is a valuable resource to begin answering questions about poor Irish Catholics in the first twenty years of independence, and to inspire future work on this section of Irish society.' Rose Luminiello, The Journal of Ecclesiastical History»
«'This is one of the best Irish history books of the last decade, broadening our understanding of social and cultural history.' Georgina Laragy, The Canadian Journal of Irish Studies»
