This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1847 and 1848 a little-known farmer named James Fintan Lalor wrote a series of newspaper articles in which he outlined his vision for Ireland after the Great Famine. Although they have been reprinted and republished many times since, until now there has been no systematic study of the principles and proposals that Lalor expounded. In this book, the author considers Lalor’s brief career as a writer and offers new insights into his treatment of the national and land questions. By elucidating Lalor’s ideas on these questions, exploring possible influences on his thinking, and assessing the impact of his writings on his contemporaries, the author seeks to address what he regards as two deficiencies in the historiography. The first of these is the tendency to assign only a minor, supporting role to Lalor during the brief heyday of Young Ireland. Academic studies typically portray him as little more than a catalyst in the radicalisation of figures like John Mitchel, rather than as a profoundly original thinker in his own right. The second issue is the commonly held perception of Lalor’s proposals on land tenure as foreshadowing the creation of a “peasant proprietary” later in the century. The author argues that Lalor advocated a much more radical plan that would link his two primary objectives: the creation of a sovereign Irish republic, and transfer of control over landholding from a small number of landlords to the entire Irish people. By comparing and contrasting Lalor’s theories with those of earlier figures such as Thomas Paine and James ‘Bronterre’ O’Brien, this ground-breaking book broadens the perspective on Lalor and his writings beyond the context of Irish nationalism. As the author concludes, Lalor’s unique contribution to Irish radical thought merits a more prominent place in nineteenth-century intellectual history than it has hitherto received. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in Irish history since 1800, especially in the areas of the Great Famine, the Young Ireland movement, and the Land War.

Book excerpt: James Fintan Lalor (1807-49), land agitator and political activist, was born in Queen's County (now Laois). A congenital spinal disease caused him chronic ill-health, but he worked as a farmer and was influenced by local land reformers. His attempt to convert Sir Robert Peel to his views in 1843 came to nothing (although Peel did set up a Commission of Inquiry) and in the 1840s he began publishing articles in the Nation based on the principle that only those who worked on the land should own it. These views were opposed by Daniel O'Connell and the moderate wing of the Young Ireland party, but the catastrophe of the Famine in the late 1840s made Lalor's ideas more pertinent and led him into direct action: he attempted to found tenant-right societies and organise rent strikes, and also became co-editor of John Mitchel's radical weekly, The Irish Felon. He was arrested following the 1848 Insurrection, but released because of ill-health. He joined a secret organisation with a number of men who later became Fenians, but his attempt to raise another insurrection in 1849 failed through lack of support, and he died shortly afterwards. If his impact on events in his lifetime was limited, his writings exerted a seminal influence on later Irish leaders such as Michael Davitt, James Connolly, Padraic Pearse, and Arthur Griffith. This is a facsimile of the first collection of his work, edited by L. Fogarty and published in 1918, with a preface by Griffith.
