Abstract
ALTHOUGH it is generally recognised that Ireland witnessed increasing feudalisation in the
years leading up to 1169-70, the concept of the manor appears to have been introduced by
the Anglo-Normans. It was to endure as one of the basic methods of organising the
landscape and of governing people's activities until the nineteenth century. As the first
book-length investigation of a phenomenon that affected the daily lives of generations of
Irish people for over six centuries, this volume has to be welcomed.
