First editions of each work in Flanagan's acclaimed Irish Trilogy, "reminiscent of Tolstoy" (Chicago Tribune). Octavo, original half cloth, cartographic endpapers. Each volume is inscribed by Thomas Flanagan. Fine in near fine to fine dust jackets. Uncommon signed and inscribed.
“I recall the excitement when this book was published in the late 1970's - and then discovered that the book merited it. Flanagan, an American history professor of Irish descent, pulled off a substantial coup in that he brought a historian's training to bear upon a romantic moment, the period when the French landed in the west of Ireland in 1798 and all Ireland thought liberation was at hand. His research never lies around the novel in pools, it stains the entire fabric, so that when his character's point of view is emerging from a dispossessed farmer's clay hovel or a small town merchant's table in the local hotel, we smell them - their clothes, their breath and (this is Ireland after all) their politics" (Frank Delaney, The Guardian).
