Description
Penal laws open the first volume of Froude's English in Ireland, from 1872. A Protestant few rule a Catholic many in eighteenth-century Ireland. Froude feels Ireland's pain, yet stands by the Union with England throughout.
His telling stirred angry debate on every side at its first appearance. Harsh statutes, absentee landlords, and sullen poverty fill his chapters. He writes with vigor, sympathy, and stubborn conviction at once. The volume began a history that remains fiercely argued over. It is a vivid record of a sad century, by a writer whose strong views add lasting interest.
