Description

"The Insurrection In Dublin" is account of the Easter Rising by the poet and novelist James Stephens, first published in 1916. The event was an attempt by Irish nationalists to insight a full-blown rebellion against British rule with the intention of securing Ireland's independence. It was mainly confined to Dublin, resulting in the deaths of nearly 500 people. James Stephens (9 February 1880 - 26 December 1950) was an Irish novelist and poet. He was a leading figure in the Irish literary revival of the early 20th century and staunch supporter of Irish Home Rule. Contents include: "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday", "The Insurrection is Over", "The Volunteers", "Some of the Leaders", "Labour and the Insurrection", and "The Irish Question". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
