The Tenants Of Time by Thomas Flanagan-Signed First Edition in Dust Jacket-1988

Description: The Tenants Of Time by Thomas Flanagan-Signed First Edition in Dust Jacket-1988The second volume of Thomas Flanagan’s best-selling Irish-history trilogy (which begins with The Year of the French and closes with The End of the Hunt) is set at the turn of the twentieth century, though its action revisits the thrilling revolutionary period of nearly half a century earlier. It is 1904 and the young historian Patrick Prentiss is visiting rural Kilpeder to research the townspeople’s rebellion during the 1867 Fenian Rising. Drawn into the events of that turbulent year by the intimate narration of the survivors, Prentiss discovers the struggles of the Irish nationalist movement refracted in the lives of those who participated in the failed revolt and its aftermath.Thomas Flanagan (November 5, 1923 – March 21, 2002) was an American university professor and novelist.
