The Story of Ireland

Résumé du livre

"First published in 1867 and republished here on fully-searchable CD-Rom is the extended American edition of The Story of Ireland, published in the year of the author, Alexander Martin Sullivan's death. Containing some 650 pages of text, The Story of Ireland is replete with many pen-and-ink sketches of prominent Irish nationalists such as John Mitchel and Michael Davitt. Sullivan, an Irish politician, lawyer and journalist as well as editor and owner of The Nation, was himself a well-known supporter of Irish nationalism and more than a passing acquaintance of the likes of Mitchel, Davitt and Parnell. This love of his country comes through beautifully in Sullivan's narrative and the dedication of this book to the youth and freedom of Ireland. This edition includes additional chapters by James Luby, which takes the narrative of The Story of Ireland from 1867 to the Rise and Fall of the Land League"--Container.
