The Wild Irishman


Gelesen von John

(4.1 stars; 11 reviews)

History and customs of the Irish and Ireland.
A word of warning to the listener: The Wild Irishman contains the biased, uncomplimentary opinions of Englishman, Thomas Crosland. Remember this was written in the late 1800's and published in 1905. Crosland was hyper critical of Irishmen and women at a time when American cities often posted signs, "No Irish Need Apply." If you are Irish, as am I, try to not be overly offended or simply walk away. - Summary by John Brandon (3 hr 52 min)

For the Reader


(4.5 stars)

The book is, of course, a horrible product of English sensibilities at the time of its publication. The reader is good, which is the reason it gets four and a half stars... can you believe people used to think these things? Sheesh...
