I'm studying the oral history of a period of Protestant proselytisiation in Ireland. The proselytisition took place from about 1820-1870. The folklore was collected between 1920-1970, a period which saw the centre of power move from Protestantism under British rule to Catholicism under Irish rule. I'm interested in comments, suggestions for reading material, and any help I can get!
