A Popular History of Ireland (Vol 1&2) - From the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics (Complete Edition)

Thomas D'Arcy McGee

Sinopsis

In "A Popular History of Ireland (Vol. 1 & 2)", Thomas D'Arcy McGee presents a comprehensive and accessible recounting of the Irish experience, spanning from ancient times to the 17th century. Employing a narrative style that melds vivid storytelling with scholarly rigor, McGee adeptly interweaves historical events with cultural insights, providing readers with a multifaceted view of Irish identity. His work reflects the Romantic literary movement's emphasis on nationalism and the valorization of the folk narrative, all while positioning Ireland's history within the broader context of European developments. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an influential Irish nationalist politician and advocate of Irish unity, was profoundly shaped by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time. Born in 1825 in Ireland and later emigrating to Canada, McGee's experiences as an immigrant and his commitment to the Irish cause fueled his desire to document and commemorate the rich heritage of his homeland. His scholarship was driven not only by a need for preservation but also by a vision of aspiration for Ireland's future as a sovereign entity. This work is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of Ireland'Äôs past through a lens that celebrates its cultural richness and complexity. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find McGee's compelling narrative an essential resource that bridges the gap between scholarly history and popular understanding.

Stuart Restoration The: The...

Editors Charles River

Oliver Cromwell is one of the most important men in England’s history, but everything he struggled for collapsed within two decades of his death. The army, Parliament and the citizens of London grappled with each other for control of the country, and even the army no longer remained a united political force. Civil war almost broke out again as a force under Lambert failed to prevent General Monck, the military governor of Scotland, from marching south and dissolving the Rump Parliament. Excluded MPs were restored on condition that they themselves dissolve Parliament, and following fresh elections without military intervention, a new Parliament met on April 25, 1660. Dominated by Presbyterians and Royalists, it accepted a settlement offered by the man titling himself Charles II, the son and heir of Charles I. On May 25, 1660, Charles II returned to England, and less than two years after Cromwell’s death, his work was undone by the Restoration. King Charles II heaped ignominy upon defeat by having Cromwell’s body dug up and posthumously executed. Cromwell’s body was then decapitated, as was Ireton’s, and their heads were placed on a pike above Westminster Hall, where Charles I had been tried, for several years.  
	Despite the Restoration, however, and despite the fact England’s republican experiment barely outlasted Cromwell, the Commonwealth and Restoration were hugely important in asserting the power of Parliament, and it permanently shifted England’s political balance firmly towards a constitutional monarchy limited by Parliament. The Stuart monarchy was restored on condition of compromise with Parliament and the army, and a precedent had been set for Parliament to replace the monarch, a precedent it would follow in the 1680s when James II was replaced by William and Mary in a settlement that set even more limits around the monarch.
