What is Michael Davitt : freelance radical and frondeur about?

"Michael Davitt (1846-1906) is popularly known as the founder of the Irish National Land League and as the architect of the Land War of 1879-82. However, the end of the Land War simply marked the close of one period of his political life and the beginning of another. For almost a quarter of a century after the Kilmainham Treaty (1882) he remained extremely politically active as a radical figure. A seasoned traveller and a prolific writer, he was, by the time of his death, widely known as an established author and journalist of international renown, a pioneering labour activist, and a leading campaigner on issues of liberty and social justice." "This book, based on extensive research of the Davitt papers and on other unpublished archival material, charts the evolution of Davitt's political thought, and situates his ideas and activism within a broad tradition of international radicalism."--BOOK JACKET.
