articles on Irish peasant life); lived in England; The Weans at Rowallan

Notes
The Weans of Rowallan [n.d.] is excerpted in Patricia Craig, The
Rattle of the North: An Anthology of Ulster Prose (Blackstaff 1992);
the passage ridicules sectarianism, showing a group of youngsters compelling
Mrs. McRea to abandon her religious persuasion [as recounted in part in
Giovanne Tallone, review, in ABEI Newsletter, No.10, Jan. 1996,
p.9.]
