This book has argued that Irish agrarian violence – ‘outrages’ – emerged as a significant point of contention in British politics during the decade of reform, which conditioned how that decade unfolded. In Ireland itself, some of the country’s rural poor adopted tactics to resist the imposition of British legal and social norms and the emergence of a capitalist regime regulating aspects of their very existence – like access to land, the value of their labour, or their exclusion from an increasingly export-oriented agricultural market.
