First published in 1836, Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk (ISBN 978-1910375594) was a book that caused one of the biggest sensations of the 19th century. Monk claimed to have been a nun in a convent in Montreal where she witnessed the most heinous crimes imaginable. The accusations she made were met with outrage and flat denial, and raised a storm of controversy that ran for more than a century. In this new edition, with the text completely reset, read what all the fuss was about.

Annals of the Famine in Ireland

Annals of the Famine in Ireland, by Asenath Nicholson, still has the power to shock and sadden even though the events described are ever-receding further into the past. When you read, for example, of the poor widowed mother who was caught trying to salvage a few potatoes from her landlord’s field, and what the magistrate discovered in the pot in her cabin, you cannot help but be appalled and distressed.

The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».

Ireland’s Welcome to the Stranger

This book, the prequel to Annals of the Famine in Ireland cannot be recommended highly enough to those interested in Irish social history. The author, Mrs Asenath Nicholson, travelled from her native America to assess the condition of the poor in Ireland during the mid 1840s. Refusing the luxury of hotels and first class travel, she stayed at a variety of lodging-houses, and even in the crude cabins of the very poorest. Not to be missed!
