Written for both a general and academic audience, this full-length
biography of Feargus O'Connor (1795-1855) provides an overview of a
turbulent and active political career, from positions in journalism
and the House of Commons to mass demonstrations for the People's
Charter and working for the Chartist Land company. At the height of
his popularity as a leader of the Chartists' campaign for
democratic reform, O'Connor enjoyed the support of millions of
working people. But more than any other popular leader of his
generation, he sought to bring the "working Saxon and Celt"
together in a common struggle, an aspiration that had its roots
deep in the Irish past. Uniquely, this account restores the Irish
dimension of O'Connor's career to its proper place by offering, for
the first time, an evaluation of his heritage, his ideas, and his
public life on both sides of the Irish Sea.
