Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mononia: A Love Story of 'Forty-Eight
This story opens on a mild, sunny morning in the early February of the year 1848, that year of such moment in the revolutionary history of Europe, that year of revolutionary movement which made it self felt even in England, and did not fail to make its deep im pression on the life of Ireland. It made its impression, too, on the lives Of those who are to figure in this story; for, although this is not in any sense a politieal narrative, and is concerned mainly with the lives and fortunes and the loves and hates of men and women whose names are unrecorded in politieal history, yet it derives some colouring from the events which were in?uencing the public of its time, and may thaefore help in its own way to illustrate the temperament and the feelings of a season which seems already to be far removed from the atmosphere of our own days.
