Includes bibliographical references and index.
The history of Ireland is inextricably linked with its relationship with the land. In this book, based on extensive research and investigation, some of the key figures in Irish agrarian agitation and change are examined. Looking at the Land League, the Knights of the Plough, together with examining the perception and reality of the Irish landlords, what emerges is a fundamentally important contribution to our understanding of the nature of the 'land question' in Irish history.
