<p>Knocknagow describes the depopulation, through the working of greed and the Land Laws, of the fictional village of the title. Kickham's knowledge of the social issues involved and his skill in depicting with accuracy and sureness of touch, the lives, customs and characters of Knocknagow compel recognition and sympathy. Knocknagow provides a brilliantly successful panorama and an important source of social history which articulates much of the basic mentality of the modern Irish nationalist community. "Here was painted in touching and memorable fashion the virtues that this society prized, the emotions that it felt and the values that it exalted." (R.V. Comerford, Dept. of Modern History, Maynooth College)</p>
