Synopsis
In late-nineteenth century Ireland, an agrarian revolution was brewing, spearheaded by the 1879 formation of the National Land League, who sought to a pathway for impoverished tenant farmers to own the land they worked. The ideas of the all-male organization were so incendiary for their time that, in 1881, its leaders created the Ladies Land League so "that the women might carry on the work after the men were imprisoned" and appointed Anna Parnell--sister of Land League president Charles Stewart Parnell--as its head.
Tale of a Great Sham is Anna Parnell's account of the work of the Ladies Land League, as well as a detailed analysis of what she saw as the shortcomings of the National Land League's executive members. Anna was a committed radical and remained one even after her brother Charles had dropped his most progressive views in favor of what she saw as a watered-down compromise--the so-called "great sham" of the Kilmainham Treaty, which did little to alleviate the injustices suffered by tenant farmers. Featuring an introduction from the renowned feminist historian Margaret Ward, Tales of a Great Sham is a comprehensive study of an important group overlooked for too long in the chronicles of Ireland's radical past.

Paperback. Etat : New. The publication in 1986 of Anna Parnell's The Tale of a Great Sham, scrupulously edited and annotated by Dana Hearne, was a landmark event in Irish women's history. For the first time the general reader was able to read an account of the land war written by the woman who at the time had been hailed as the Irish 'Joan of Arc'. She was now impoverished and disillusioned but remained acutely sensitive to Irish political developments. Her version of the past was, as Hearne recognised: 'a searing attack on the male leadership of the Land League and a penetrating critique of its major political strategy - the strategy which came to be known as "Rent at the Point of the Bayonet". It is also a painfully revealing account of the inability of most key Nationalist men to work on an equal footing with Nationalist women.' Long out of print, this welcome re-publication - with a compelling overview of the period by leading feminist historian Dr Margaret Ward - will enable a new generation to decide for themselves whether the strategy developed by the male leadership, explained and criticised with such forensic precision by Anna, succeeded in producing no more than the 'ridiculous mouse' of the 1881 Land Act, which she believed supported landlord power and reinforced an ineffectual parliamentary path to political change in Ireland, rather than the radical mass movement she favoured. Anna was a pioneering feminist and nationalist activist who challenged male authority and is a beacon to all who followed in her footsteps. The Tale of a Great Sham is history in her words. Read, know, and celebrate Anna Parnell. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781910820599
