Summary
The sequel to The Princes of Ireland follows the lives and destinies of several Dublin families, both Catholic and Protestant, from all strata of society, from the sixteenth-century colonization of Ireland by the English under Elizabeth I to the founding of the Irish free state in 1922. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Edward Rutherfurdâs stirring account of Irish history, the Dublin Saga, concludes in this magisterial work of historical fiction. Beginning where the first volume, The Princes of Ireland, left off, The Rebels of Ireland takes us into a world transformed by the English practice of âplantation,â which represented the final step in the centuries-long British conquest of Ireland. Once again Rutherfurd takes us inside the process of history by tracing the lives of several Dublin families from all strata of society â Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor, conniving and heroic.
From the time of the plantations and Elizabethâs ascendancy Rutherfurd moves into the grand moments of Irish history: the early-17th-century âFlight of the Earls,â when the last of the Irish aristocracy fled the island; Oliver Cromwellâs brutal oppression and confiscation of lands a half-century later; the romantic, doomed effort of âThe Wild Geeseâ to throw off Protestant oppression at the Battle of the Boyne. The reader sees through the eyes of the victims and the perpetrators alike the painful realities of the anti-Catholic penal laws, the catastrophic famine and the massive migration to North America, the rise of the great nationalists OâConnell and the tragic Parnell, the glorious Irish cultural renaissance of Joyce and Yeats, and finally, the triumphant founding of the Irish Republic in 1922.
Written with all the drama and sweep that has made Rutherfurd the bestselling historical novelist of his generation, The Rebels of Ireland is both a necessary companion to The Princes of Ireland and a magnificent achievement in its own right.
