Travellers' accounts as source-material for Irish historians
"This book is intended as an aid to Irish historians on the use of travellers' accounts as source-material. It consists of a discursive introduction, annotations of over 200 accounts from the years 1635 to 1948, a select bibliography and indexes of travellers and places. The annotations consist of the usual bibliographic details, identification of the traveller, the purpose and period of his or her travel, the exact itinerary followed, his or her mode of transport, the traveller's observations, and the persons encountered ... C.J. Woods sees travel narratives as an important primary source of information - on transport, landscapes, the economy, society, religion, etc."--Back cover
