The Peeps At Many Lands series was originally published by Adam and Charles Black of London at the start of the 20th century. Each book details one person's account of their visit to a foreign land.Although the books in the series are designed to be factual accounts of their respective countries, they can not help but be opinion pieces. After all, each book is one person's account of their experience of travelling around a foreign land, rather than a heavily researched series of facts and figures. This is, of course, the main part of their charm. With over a hundred years of separation between then and now, it is easy to see that they are steeped in Victorian sensibilities. As a result, we not only get a glimpse of a country at the turn of the 20th century, we also get to see it through the author's unconsciously biased eyes.This book is among the most interesting of the Peeps At Many Lands series, chiefly because of its author and her point of view. Katharine Tynan was an Irish Catholic poet who married the English Protestant barrister and writer Henry Albert Hinkson. She is writing about a united Ireland, part of the United Kingdom and ruled by the British Government, and one that seems to be at peace. She clearly loves her country yet seems loyal to the British Crown. Tynan divides her countryfolk into three groups: the Celts, the Anglo-Irish (those Norman and English families who have moved to Ireland and have, in her words, become "more Irish than the Irish") and the Scots-Irish. Her quarrel is more with the latter, specifically the Ulster Presbyterians, than the Anglo-Irish or the British Government. As far as the author is concerned, rebellion is far from the minds of the Irish. Yet just ten years after this book was first published, the Irish War Of Independence began, leading to the division of Ireland and creation of the Republic of Ireland.This new electronic edition of Peeps At Many Lands: Ireland includes new footnotes, such as translations and links to Wikipedia articles. It has been thoroughly proofread to make sure that the text is identical to the original printed edition.
