The Centenary Classics series examines the fascinating time of
change and evolution in the Ireland of 100 years ago during the
1916-23 revolutionary period. Each volume is introduced by Fearghal
McGarry who sets the scene of this important period in Ireland's
history. A Chronicle of Jails is Darrell Figgis's account of his
arrest in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising and subsequent
internment in Ireland and Britain. He was among a minority of
internees identified as leadership material and held at Reading
Gaol rather than at Frongoch Camp. This memoir was first published
by the Talbot Press in 1917 and is fascinating in its
propagandistic intent. It reveals much about political imprisonment
in that era and much about Darrell Figgis. The introduction by
William Murphy gives a contemporary analysis of this original text.
