William Carleton (1794-1869) was a prolific Irish author, social historian and anthropologist who wrote from intimate acquaintance with the scenes he described. His works are unique pictures of Irish rural life and preserve and document the cultural traditions of nineteenth-century Ireland. His first major work, Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry (1830- 33) is based on his knowledge of the character and folklore of the people he knew and gives an accurate and vivid description of life in rural Ireland. It won him a great reputation. Amongst his other works are: Fardorougha the Miser (1837), Valentine McClutchy, the Irish Agent (1845), The Black Prophet: A Tale of Irish Famine (1846), which is based on his own experiences of the famines in Ireland, The Emigrants of Ahadarra (1847), The Tithe Proctor (1849) and Willy Reilly (1850), a sentimental romance.

'The Ned M'Keown Stories' is a collection of short stories by William Carleton, an Irish writer, that paint a picture of the stereotypical Irishman. He endeavors in the book to give a panorama of Irish life among the people—comprising at one view all the strong points of their general character—their loves, sorrows, superstitions, piety, amusements, crimes, and virtues. His own boast is that, "in doing this, I can say with solemn truth that I painted them honestly, and without reference to the existence of any particular creed or party."

The Ned M'Keown Stories Traits And Stories Of The Irish Peasantry, The Works of William Carleton, Volume Three by William Carleton It will naturally be expected, upon a new issue of works which may be said to treat exclusively of a people who form such an important and interesting portion of the empire as the Irish peasantry do, that the author should endeavor to prepare the minds of his readers-especially those of the English and Scotch-for understanding more clearly their general character, habits of thought, and modes of feeling, as they exist and are depicted in the subsequent volume. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
