    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.
