'Popular History of Ireland, Book 11' Summary
This volume of D'Arcy McGee's comprehensive history of Ireland examines the 18th century, a period marked by growing unrest and the tightening grip of British rule. It begins with the accession of George I, tracing the political landscape as the Hanoverian dynasty established itself in England. The book details the ongoing struggle for Irish autonomy, hindered by British policies aimed at economic and political control. The author illuminates the impact of these policies on the Irish people, highlighting the widespread poverty, religious persecution, and social unrest that defined the era. He explores the rise of resistance movements, both peaceful and violent, as the Irish people fought for their rights. The narrative culminates in the Act of Union of 1801, which formally dissolved the Irish Parliament and effectively subjugated Ireland to British rule. The book provides a detailed and insightful account of the events that led to this historic turning point in Irish history, shedding light on the systemic oppression faced by the Irish and the lasting impact of British colonialism.Book Details
