Description
The Story of Ireland by Emily Lawless is a comprehensive account of the history of Ireland from prehistoric times to the early 20th century. The book covers the major events and figures that have shaped the country's history, including the arrival of the Celts, the Viking invasions, the Norman conquest, and the struggles for independence from British rule.The author provides a detailed analysis of the social, cultural, and political developments that have occurred in Ireland over the centuries. She explores the impact of religion, literature, art, and music on Irish society, and highlights the key figures who have contributed to these fields.The book also examines the complex relationship between Ireland and England, tracing the history of British rule and the various attempts by the Irish to gain independence. It covers the major political movements that emerged in Ireland, including the United Irishmen, the Fenians, and the Irish Republican Army.Throughout the book, Lawless provides vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events that have shaped Ireland's history. She draws on a wide range of sources, including primary documents, archaeological evidence, and personal accounts, to create a rich and engaging narrative.Overall, The Story of Ireland is a fascinating and informative account of Ireland's history that will appeal to anyone with an interest in this fascinating country.As early as the introduction of Christianity Ireland was already divided into four such aggregations of tribes--kingdoms they are commonly called--answering pretty nearly to the present four provinces, with the addition of Meath, which was the appanage of the house of Ulster, and included West Meath, Longford, and a fragment of the King's County. Of the other four provinces, Connaught acknowledged the rule of the O'Connors, Munster that of the O'Briens, Leinster of the McMurroughs, and Ulster of the O'Neills, who were also in theory over-kings, or, as the native word was, Ard-Reaghs of the entire island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
