Grattan and the Irish fight for liberty in Fronde era
A retrospective on Ireland's push for political reform from the late 18th century to the Union. It traces Grattan’s leadership, the push for Catholic emancipation, the Volunteer movement, and the 1798 rebellion, contrasting Froude’s account with critical notes on justice and authority. It concludes with a guarded defense of Froude as historian.
