The Fenian Movement by Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa

New Paperback Book - 2025 - 187 pages. The Fenian Movement: An Account of its Origin, Progress and Temporary Collapse by Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa. This book is based on a series of eleven newspaper articles, first published in 1885, in which Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa recalled his involvement with the early years of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (Fenian Movement) in Ireland, from its inception in 1858 to his arrest in 1865. For much of this period he was resident in the town of Skibbereen. It also covers the time he was employed by the Irish People newspaper in Dublin, when he travelled widely in Ireland and Britain promoting the Fenian Movement. The articles contained information not published elsewhere, including poems that he wrote while in jail. Brought together for the first time in one volume, this book also contains a small number of added footnotes to explain certain events and individuals to a modern reader. Also, an index was added as a search aid.
