'Poor Green Erin'

The area of 19th-century German travel writing on Ireland has received widespread scholarly attention over the years in treatises in both English and German. This book is conceived of more as a reader for the general public than as an academic treatise, presents a surprisingly extensive body of comments drawn from German and Austrian sources from between 1783 and 1865.
