Synopsis
A vivid look at Ireland’s Great Famine and the harsh power of its landlords, told through red-hot advocacy and eyewitness evidence.
James Redpath’s talks bring the Irish famine to life and frame it as a struggle between tenants and landowners. This edition collects his lectures and reflections, showing how economic forces and political power shaped life in Ireland and drew international attention.
Built from interviews, letters, and public speeches, the book argues for tenant rights and a fairer system. It presents the social costs of eviction and the call for reform in clear, direct language that aims to persuade as well as inform.
- Firsthand perspectives on famine-era Ireland and the rent system.
- Rhetoric and examples aimed at explaining the landlords’ power and its consequences.
- Arguments for reform and the broader political context of Irish struggle.
- Historical anecdotes and analysis designed for readers seeking understanding and context.
Ideal for readers interested in historical injustices, Irish history, and the power dynamics of landownership.
