Defying the law of the land : agrarian radicals in Irish history / edited by Brian Casey ; foreword by Carla King

This history of Ireland is inextricably linked with our relationship with the land. In this book, based on extensive research and investigation, the authors examine some of the key figures in Irish agrarian agitation and change. Looking at the Land League, the Knights of the Plough, the perception and reality of the Irish Landlords, this is an important book which makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the nature of the 'land question' in Irish history.
