Publisher's Synopsis
The Life of Michael Davitt is a historical biography written by D.B. Cashman in 1881. The book provides a detailed account of the life of Michael Davitt, an Irish nationalist and social activist, as well as a history of the rise and development of the Irish National Land League. The Land League was a political organization founded in 1879 with the aim of securing land reform and tenant rights for Irish farmers. Davitt played a key role in the organization and was instrumental in its success. The book covers Davitt's early life, his involvement in the Fenian movement, his imprisonment and subsequent release, and his work with the Land League. It also provides an overview of the political and social climate in Ireland during the late 19th century, including the struggles of Irish farmers and the tensions between Ireland and England.
