Land and Revolution

Land and Revolution examines the relationship between agrarian conflict and nationalist politics in the west of Ireland between the death of Parnell in 1891 and the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. Although there are many studies of 'high' politics, this is the first systematic study of popular political activity in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Ireland. By adopting a new approach to this period, Dr Campbell provides a new interpretation of the origins and dynamics of the Irish revolution (1916-1923), and also contributes to the comparative study of nationalism, revolution, and agrarian protest.
