Beskrivelse

It is over half a century since electricity was introduced to rural Ireland. Prior to that, people living in rural areas were still using nineteenth-century methods of farming and were still depending on lamps and candles for light. In the short time since the ESB brought electricity to those areas, the changes have been all-encompassing. The bringing of electricity to rural Ireland, begun in the 1940s, was a quiet revolution that transformed the lives of rural dwellers, lifting them instantly out of nineteenth-century conditions. This book is an entertaining and detailed account of these events. It brings the spirit of the times to life and recaptures the enthusiasm and sense of awe that greeted this new source of energy and the beginning of modern life.
