Tracing each story from its original appearance to Carleton's last revisions, this book discusses his alterations and their relationship to the writer's changing attitudes and skills and to the literary climate in which he wrote. Some of his most startling alterations concern passages removed or rewritten to avoid offending the current religious views of his market. The text deals chronologically with each edition of the collection and an appendix contains full transcriptions of all alterations to each story. Irish Literary Studies Series No. 12.
