Explains "nationalism and radicalism in Ireland in a socio-economic and regional, as well as a political context. While investigating the distribution of revolutionary violence in relation to national voting patterns and agricultural and cultural diversity, Erhard Rumpf was led to the concept of the 'east-west gradient'. The further west one travelled in Ireland, the weaker became the extent of English and urban influences and the stronger became the support of small farm radicalism and republicanism."
