NotesOutlines the career of the novelist Shan Bullock (1865-1935), son of the steward of Lord Erne's Castle Crom estate who became a civil servant and wrote regional novels about the small farmers and labourers of south-eastern Fermanagh. Discusses the value and limitations of these novels as historical sources, and the attitudes and uncertainties which Bullock brought to them. (Bullock was a Protestant of liberal theological views; he was a Liberal Unionist in politics, and was heavily influenced by Sir Horace Plunkett whom he knew well in later life.)
