Publisher's Synopsis

Why did print technology take so long (300 years after Gutenberg) to become a cultural influence in Ireland? Why was there an "explosion" of printing and presses in Ireland between 1750 and 1800? This book, answering these questions, details the history of the spread of printing and literacy in eighteenth century Ireland.
