Book Overview

Hugh Roe O'Donnell: A Sixteenth Century Irish Historical Play is a play written by Standish O'Grady in the late 19th century. The play tells the story of Hugh Roe O'Donnell, a 16th-century Irish chieftain who led a rebellion against English rule in Ireland. The play is set in the late 1500s and follows the life of O'Donnell as he battles against the English forces in Ireland. The play is written in a historical style and includes many elements of Irish folklore and mythology. The characters in the play are based on real historical figures, including O'Donnell himself, as well as his allies and enemies. The play is a reflection of the Irish struggle for independence during the late 19th century, and it remains a popular work of Irish literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
