This book details the history of the spread of printing and literacy in eighteenth century Ireland, In addition to being a historical survey, it is also a study, in the media ecological vein, that explores what happens when a new technology is introduced to a given culture.
This work answers three key questions: first, why did print technology take so longyears after Gutenberg to become a cultural influence in Ireland second, why was there an explosion of printing and presses in Ireland betweenandand finally, why, when a printing industry had been established, was almost the entire output of printed literature in English rather than the Irish language This book is a masterful and carefully researched contribution to both the study of how technology changes culture and Irish studies.
