Description:
Irish
Gangs And Stick-Fighting: In The Works Of William Carleton, is a
collection of stories about Irish stick-fighters, written in the 19th
century, by the Irish author William Carleton. Carleton was a
stick-fighter himself, and this is the first time that all of his tales
about stick-fighting have been published in one volume. The stories
provide many details about Irish methods of self-defense used in the
19th century. They also provide keen insights into the Irish fighting
culture and the code of "Shillelagh Law," which guided the lives of
Irish fighting men throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Three hundred
endnotes, meticulously researched, explain the 19th century Irish and
Hiberno-English terms used by Carleton througout the text.
