About the author
William Carleton (1794–1869) was an Irish novelist born to a farming family in Prillisk, County Tyrone. He made his name with Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, and Irish rural life remained the core of his writing. Novels such as Fardorougha the Miser and The Black Prophet depict poverty, land issues and famine in the Irish countryside with realistic detail and a critical eye. Drawing on the conflicts among peasants, landlords and local agents, his works combine folk observation with moral instruction and are often classed as inspirational and coming-of-age literature. He is a representative figure of nineteenth-century Irish regional fiction, and 20 of his works are held in this collection.
