About this book

The Story of Ancient Irish Civilization is a short 1907 book by Patrick Weston Joyce (1827-1914), the Irish scholar who condensed his two-volume Social History of Ancient Ireland into this popular account. It describes how pre-Norman Ireland actually lived: the brehon laws, schools and learning, crafts, dress, food, and the workings of kingship. Joyce wrote for general readers at the height of the Irish cultural revival, and the little book carried real scholarship into thousands of homes. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
