Michael Davitt (1846-1906), was an important figure in Irish
history. Active in the Fenian movement he was arrested in 1870 by
the British and imprisoned for seven years. After his release he
continued his efforts and founded the Land League. Once again he
was arrested and sent to prison in England. While in solitary
confinement he wrote a number of pieces, all of which are published
here for the first time. In addition to valuable autobiographical
material, they include essays on the Irish land war, how Ireland
was robbed of her Parliament, English civilization, and the
education of the Irish citizen. Carla King teaches at St. Patrick's
College. The Classics of Irish History series.
