An Ulsterman for Ireland (Classic Reprint): Being Letters to the Protestant Farmers, Labourers, and Artisans of the North of Ireland - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A bold voice from Ireland’s past breaks silence with fearless critique and a call for reform. This collection gathers John Mitchel’s letters to the Protestant farmers, laborers, and artisans of Ulster, offering a provocative look at politics, religion, and power in mid-19th century Ireland. Though written long ago, the arguments linger, inviting readers to weigh loyalty, rights, and national destiny.
These writings frame a tense moment when Irish tenant rights, British rule, and class interests collided. They mix sharp satire, moral questions, and a relentless insistence that ordinary people deserve a say in the governance and wealth they help create.
- Understand the clash between landlord power and tenant rights in a historical context.
- Explore debates over loyalty, national identity, and religious politics in Ireland.
- See how advocacy and rhetoric shaped public discussion in a time of famine, reform, and rebellion.
- Encounter a fiery, unflinching voice that questions authority and champions equal life for all.
Ideal for readers of Irish history, political reform, and 19th‑century writings who want a candid look at how ideas—and protesters—shaped a nation.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Ulster Protestant, wrote these letters to the Ulster Protestant democracy in A pril and May of 1848. The disgraceful Treason-F elony A ct had just been enacted, enabling the Government to treat I rish political offences on a level with the vilest crimes. I reland had just passed through three years of famine and famine-fever, the unchecked consequences of her ruthless Government, and had paid the toll of a million I rish lives; and to remedy her condition the Imperial Parliament enacted the Treason-F elony A ct. An indictment for the newly invented crime was awaiting Mitchel, to his knowledge, at the time when he wrote these letters. A recent French critic, having studied Mitchel s Jail Journal, has done the entente cordiale the service of exposing Mitchel as a futile railer with no positive or constructive ideas and with no better basis for his Nationalism than bitter unreasoning rancour against England. I am sorry to say that the criticism has been adopted by some I rish writers.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by Irish nationalist John Mitchel between April and May 1848. The letters were addressed to the Protestant farmers, laborers, and artisans of Northern Ireland, urging them to join the fight for Irish independence from British rule. Mitchel believed that the British government was a corrupt and unjust system that had brought untold suffering upon the Irish people. He argued that the only way to end this suffering was for the Irish to rise up and overthrow British rule by force of arms. Mitchel's letters are passionate and persuasive, and they offer a unique insight into the mind of a committed Irish nationalist at a critical juncture in Irish history. They are also a valuable historical document, providing a first-hand account of the events leading up to the failed Irish uprising of 1848. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Irish history or in the history of nationalism more generally. It is a powerful reminder of the injustices that can be perpetrated under the guise of legitimate government, and of the lengths to which people will go to fight for their freedom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330957592_0
