The Story of Ireland is a comprehensive historical account of Ireland, written by Emily Lawless. The book covers the country's history from its earliest times to the early 20th century, exploring the key events, people, and cultural influences that have shaped Ireland's past. It delves into the pre-Christian era, the arrival of the Celts, the influence of the Vikings and Normans, the Tudor conquest, the Great Famine, the Easter Rising, and the struggle for independence, among other topics. The book also explores Ireland's rich literary, artistic, and musical heritage, highlighting the contributions of figures such as W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, and traditional Irish musicians. With a focus on both the major historical events and the everyday lives of ordinary people, The Story of Ireland provides a fascinating and engaging overview of this complex and fascinating country.As early as the introduction of Christianity Ireland was already divided into four such aggregations of tribes--kingdoms they are commonly called--answering pretty nearly to the present four provinces, with the addition of Meath, which was the appanage of the house of Ulster, and included West Meath, Longford, and a fragment of the King's County. Of the other four provinces, Connaught acknowledged the rule of the O'Connors, Munster that of the O'Briens, Leinster of the McMurroughs, and Ulster of the O'Neills, who were also in theory over-kings, or, as the native word was, Ard-Reaghs of the entire island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
