Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Jeannie Howse and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Disturbed Ireland: Being the Letters Written During the Winter of 1880-81" by Bernard H. Becker is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's observations during his travels through the particularly tumultuous regions of Ireland, focusing on the social and economic tensions arising from agrarian strife and landlord-tenant conflicts. Becker's work aims to provide a descriptive narrative of the lives and sentiments of the people he encounters, eschewing deeper political analysis in favor of a vivid portrayal of the local conditions. The opening of the work sets the stage for Becker's journey through County Mayo, which is depicted as a hotspot of unrest. He conveys his initial impressions as he travels through this "disaffected" area, countering prevalent fears of lawlessness with personal experiences suggesting a more complex reality. His narrative reveals a mix of humor and despair as he recounts interactions with locals, who provide both stark depictions of their hardships and moments of levity amidst the chaos. The author's quest for understanding through firsthand accounts exemplifies a time of significant cultural and social upheaval in Ireland, establishing an intimate connection between the reader and the lived experiences of its people.
