Abstract
The author examines the history of social stratification in rural Ireland through a non-Marxist, Weberian lens that distinguishes class, power, and status, each discussed in turn as separate, non-congruent domains, revealing the complexity of Irish social relations. He covers the Norman and English incursions, bourgeois revolution, admission to the Common Market, state capitalism of the Republic, transformation from an agricultural to an industrial economy, egalitarianism in Gaelic culture, Catholic Church hierarchy, and Anglo-Irish Ascendancy, all of which create a complex vertical and horizontal "mosaic."
