Publisher's Synopsis
The Parliamentary History of the Irish Land Question is a significant historical work written by R. Barry O'Brien. The book delves into the complex and contentious issue of land ownership and land reform in Ireland, specifically focusing on the debates and legislative actions that took place in the British Parliament.
The Irish Land Question was a central issue during the 19th and early 20th centuries, revolving around the unequal distribution of land ownership in Ireland and the grievances of tenant farmers who faced unfair treatment by landlords. This issue was intertwined with broader questions of Irish nationalism, home rule, and the relationship between Ireland and Britain.
Published in the late 19th century, O'Brien's work is an important historical resource for understanding the dynamics of land reform, political debates, and the broader context of Ireland's relationship with Britain during a critical period in its history.
This new edition is dedicated to Dermot McMahon, able teacher in far lands and proud son of Ireland.
