Tipperary Studies hosts Dr. David Fleming who will be exploring ‘The ordinary and the everyday in the eighteenth-century’ Historians often focus on the political and sometimes exceptional events that tended to affect society. Of less interest is the ordinary and everyday activities that people experienced. The mundane formed the backdrop for the larger events happening around people and localities, and was arguably more important in how people viewed themselves and the society around them. This talk will explore life in eighteenth-century Ireland, considering the agricultural year and the seasons that shaped it, and how individuals interacted in their localities. David is based at the School of History and Geography, University of Limerick.
