The Men of No Property, Paperback / softback Book

The Men of No Property Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Modern History series

Paperback / softback

Description

The paperback edition of the extremely popular The Men of No Property is a study of the popular dimensions of Irish radicalism in the age of the French revolution.

It focuses on the lower-class secret society, the Defenders, and the more familiar face of radicalism in this period, the Society of United Irishmen.

Particular attention is paid to the vigorous traditions of street protest in eighteenth-century Dublin.

The picture which emerges is of a revolutionary movement which was both more radical in its rhetoric and objectives and more popular in its social base than has previously been allowed.
