Book Synopsis
On Monday 19 September 1803, the most significant trial in the history of Ireland took place in Dublin. At the dock stood a former Trinity College student standing trial for heading a rebellion on 23 July 1803. Drawing on an intriguing range of sources, Patterson offers a comprehensive insight into a relatively neglected period of history. -- .

Trade Review
This is a significant book based on impressive and pioneering archival research and will be required reading for anyone interested in late eighteenth-century and pre-famine Ireland. By showing the potent and complex ways that radical politics survived at a popular level throughout post-1798 Ireland, Patterson’s study forces historians to reassess the roles played by sectarianism and agrarian protest in Ireland before the famine. These are important subjects and we have Patterson to thank for bringing them back to our attention. -- .
