Irish Nationalism: Essential Writings: Volume 1 - Paperback

by Keith Woods (Author)

For the first time, the greatest writings and speeches of Ireland's greatest nationalists are brought together in one collection.

Beginning with the Rebellion of 1798, learn how a century of hardship shaped Irish Nationalism - from the words of the men who lived the struggle.

Volume 1 features the immortal words of Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmet, Thomas Davis, John Mitchel, James Fintan Lalor, Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Cusack and Douglas Hyde.

From the iconic speech from the dock of Robert Emmet, to the fiery calls for militancy of the Young Irelanders, to the cultural vision of the Gaelic Revival: these writings are not just the musings of ideologues, but the living testament of individuals who saw beyond the chains of their era, to a future where their nation might stand sovereign and proud.
