Anglo-Irish big house : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anglo-Irish big house The term Big house refers to the country houses, mansions, or estate houses of the historical landed class in Ireland, which is itself known as the Anglo-Irish class. The houses formed the symbolic focal point of the Anglo-Irish political dominance of Ireland from the late 16th century, and many were destroyed or attacked during the Irish revolutionary period. ==The Big House== The term 'big house' came about due to the simple comparison by the tenants of estates of their dwellings with the comparatively large and luxurious residences of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy. They were termed 'big' both in reference to their size and in reference to their influence over the surrounding area. Elizabeth Bowen wrote of the big house:〔Elizabeth Bowen, 'The Big House' in Hermione Lee (Ed.), ''The Mulberry Tree'' (1986), p. 26.〕
