This late 19th century novel was one of the first to deal with crime and punishment in Ireland, as well as a host of other issues from a feminist as well as socially progressive point of view. Long out of print, Professor Murphy makes the case for its inclusion in the canon of Irish literature via a superbly written Introduction and an extensive series of notes and text discussions.
