Publisher's Synopsis
""Why Ireland Is Not Free: A Study Of Twenty Years In Politics"" is a book by Timothy Michael Healy, first published in 1898. The book is a detailed analysis of the political situation in Ireland during the period from 1878 to 1898. Healy, who was a prominent Irish nationalist and politician, provides a critical examination of the reasons why Ireland had not achieved independence from British rule despite years of struggle. The book is divided into several chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of Irish politics. Healy discusses the role of the Irish Nationalist Party, the influence of the Catholic Church, the impact of British rule on Irish society, and the failure of various attempts to achieve independence. He also provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Land War of the 1880s, the Home Rule Bill of 1886, and the subsequent split in the Irish Nationalist Party. Throughout the book, Healy argues that the failure of the Irish nationalist movement was due to a combination of factors, including the lack of unity among Irish political leaders, the influence of conservative elements within Irish society, and the power of the British government. He also criticizes the Catholic Church for its role in suppressing dissent and stifling political debate. ""Why Ireland Is Not Free"" is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the political and social conditions of Ireland during the late 19th century. It remains a significant work in the field of Irish history and politics, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the struggle for Irish independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
