By Michael J.F. McCarthy

Book Overview

""Irish Land and Irish Liberty: A Study of the New Lords of the Soil"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Michael John Fitzgerald McCarthy in 1914. The book explores the complex relationship between the Irish people and their landowners during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It delves into the history of land ownership in Ireland, from the ancient Gaelic chieftains to the English landlords who came to dominate the country in the 17th and 18th centuries.McCarthy examines the impact of the Great Famine of the 1840s on Irish society and the subsequent land reforms that attempted to address the inequalities between the landowners and the tenant farmers. He also discusses the rise of the Irish Nationalist movement and the struggles for Irish independence that took place in the early 20th century.Throughout the book, McCarthy argues that the Irish people's struggle for liberty and independence was closely tied to their struggle for land ownership and control. He provides detailed analysis of the political and economic factors that shaped the Irish land question, and offers insights into the complex social and cultural dynamics that underpinned the conflict.""Irish Land and Irish Liberty"" is a seminal work in Irish history and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Ireland, land ownership, and social justice. It is a well-researched and thought-provoking book that sheds light on a crucial period in Irish history and the struggle for Irish identity and independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
