YOU WILL DYE AT MIDNIGHT: Threatening Letters in Victorian Ireland
This work reveals the murky world where tens of thousands of letters and notices were nailed to barn doors or sent by penny post, intimidating, giving 'fair warning' and terrorising the recipients. These victims were sometimes landlords, land agents and land-grabbers. Equally, they could be small farmers disputing land occupancy with neighbors. Photos, with illus.
