Publisher's Synopsis
Songs of the Irish Land War is a collection of poems written by Thomas Stanislaus Cleary and published in 1888. The Irish Land War was a period of political and social unrest in Ireland during the late 19th century, marked by a series of protests and violent conflicts between tenant farmers and their landlords. Cleary's poems reflect the struggles and injustices faced by the Irish people during this time, and celebrate the resilience and determination of those who fought for their rights. The collection includes both traditional ballads and original compositions, and covers a range of themes including poverty, eviction, resistance, and national identity.
