What is Michael Davitt After the Land League, 1882-1906 about?

Michael Davitt is known as the 'Father of the Land League'. His story of suffering and self-sacrifice, childhood eviction and exile, youthful radicalism, harsh imprisonment and eventual triumph over adversity ensures his memory in the pages of history. His early life and role in the Land League have been well-served by historians; however, his mature years remain largely in the shade. This book uncovers Davitt above and beyond the Land League. Michael Davitt after the Land League brings Davitt's later story back into the light by exploring his career in the 24 years between his leadership of the Land League and his death in 1906. Davitt expert Dr Carla King unveils the leading themes in Davitt's life post Land League: education, nationalism and democracy, prison reform, imperialism, international affairs, the women's question and the labour movement. His continued dedication to the land question and Irish affairs are demonstrated through his focus on Home Rule, the Plan of Campaign and the United Irish League. His extensive travels abroad from Western Europe to the United States, the Middle East, Russia, Australia, and beyond reveal an awakening internationalist outlook.His passion
