About this book
In a period marked by social upheaval and land disputes, "The Landleaguers" by Anthony Trollope delves into the complexities of Irish landlordism and tenant rights. This historical novel intricately explores the impact of the Landleaguers' movement, which advocated for fair rents and the protection of tenants against eviction. Through the lens of the Jones family, particularly Philip Jones, a landlord navigating his newfound influence, readers witness the tension between power and justice. Ideal for students and civic activists, this narrative not only highlights the struggle for equitable land ownership but also raises questions about unalienable rights and social responsibility. Engage with a pivotal moment in history that resonates with contemporary discussions on property and justice.
