Product Description
Since its initial publication in 1826, the Life of Theobald Wolfe Tone, comprising the autobiography as well as a collection of his journals, letters and political writings, has been regarded by historians as an indispensable source for the history of the 1790s, and for the life of Tone himself. Its blend of candid memoir, frank diary entries and political passion has contributed to the mystique of this Protestant revolutionary and founding father of Irish republicanism, who strove to promote ‘the common name of Irishman’ in place of the political and religious barriers that had divided his country.
