Description

Mayo Books Ireland is proud to present A Radical Priest in Mayo – The Rise and Fall of an Irish Nationalist 1825 – 1886 by Gerard Moran as part of our comprehensive collection of regional titles.

A compelling and scholarly study of Fr. Patrick Lavelle, one of the most controversial figures in nineteenth-century Irish history. In A Radical Priest in Mayo, Gerard Moran examines Lavelle’s role in the Land War, his fierce advocacy for tenant rights, and his complex relationship with both Church and nationalist movements. Drawing on rich archival sources, this work offers valuable insight into rural agitation, clerical influence, and political unrest in the west of Ireland. An essential title for collectors of Irish history, Mayo studies, Land League material, and nineteenth-century nationalism.
