This account of the trial, originally published at the time, provides a microcosm of the dynamic currents of change sweeping Ireland in this revolutionary era; the hopes and fears generated by the French revolution; the desire for a greater say in the governing of Ireland; and the fears of many of a foreign invasion of Ireland. This new, re-set edition contains an introduction which sets the trial in its historical context and has as an appendix the Defence Drennan wrote in 1794 and published in 1812 and 1815. Professor John Larkin’s introduction, a notable contribution to Irish legal history studies, describes Drennan’s background and the personalities involved in his trial and highlights the development of radical Presbyterian consciousness in the 1790s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780716524571\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e RKC2010831050\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Volume unread; dust jacket shows minor shelf rubbing only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irish Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246350586183,"sku":"20260623-09","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/61I-eZg1xAL.jpg?v=1782655989","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/the-trial-of-william-drennan-history","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
