The approaching centenary of the death of Robert Emmet offers sufficient reason for the production of a new biography of one who fills so large a place in the memories of the I rish people. What seemed to be most required was a brief and direct account of his life rather than a book overloaded with unnecessary detail, and made prosy by interminable moralising as in the case of Madden sbiography; one keeping rather to the strictly ascertained facts or to those which seem to be borne out by sufficient evidence to justify their inclusion, than an attempt to form glowing periods with no special reference to the admitted data of Emmet slife. The actual history of Emmet sattempt to accomplish a revolution has been somewhat obliterated by rhapsodical accounts of his career, and not a few readers have gathered from them an altogether erroneous impression of the real qualities of a romantic but hardly great leader. It would be absurd to pretend that Emmet had the genius of Wolfe Tone.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the life and times of Robert Emmet, an Irish patriot whose life was cut short in 1803 during an unsuccessful uprising against British rule. The author meticulously pieces together Emmet's story, using authentic sources and offering a fresh perspective on his role in Irish history. Exploring the broader context of Ireland's struggle for independence, the book delves into themes of political oppression, the search for national identity, and the complexities of revolution. The author challenges traditional notions of Emmet as a reckless youth and instead paints a portrait of a man driven by a deep love for his country and a profound belief in its right to self-determination. By shedding light on Emmet's motivations, actions, and legacy, this book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of a pivotal period in Irish history.
