Product Description
Darrell Figgis (1882-1925) was a journalist, author and nationalist propagandist. William Murphy is a lecturer in Irish Studies at the Mater Dei Institute of Education, Dublin City University. Fearghal McGarry is a lecturer in Modern Irish History at Queen's University Belfast.
A Chronicle of Jails is Darrell Figgis's account of his arrest in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising and subsequent internment in Ireland and Britain. He was among a minority of internees identified as leadership material and held at Reading Gaol rather than at Frongoch Camp. This memoir was first published by the Talbot Press in 1917 - in this edition ( although Talbot were notorious for not putting edition info on their titles) and is fascinating in its propagandistic intent. It reveals much about political imprisonment in that era and much about Darrell Figgis.
A classic account of revolutionary eras Ireland.
A slim papefrback, with covers printed slightly larger than the bpook block as was the common fashion with some Talbot Press editions, internally unmarked
