Abstract
This chapter considers the representation of the Irish peasant in nineteenth-century fiction: in the moral tales of Mary Leadbeater, national tales by Maria Edgeworth and Lady Morgan, the rise of Catholic novelists such as Gerald Griffin and the Banims, and those who emerge from the peasantry themselves, such as William Carleton; and the way representation is affected by social and political events such as agrarian outrages, the Famine, and the Land League.
