Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shilrick, the Drummer, or Loyal and True, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 I would here beg those who honour me by reading the following chapters, clearly to understand, that this novel is purely a romance; the plot, incidents, and chief characters therein being, for the most part, the creations and fancies of my own imagination; and for these, therefore, I would claim the generous licence accorded to the novelist and the poet; but, with the threads of my fictitious story, there are interwoven, from time to time, real facts, and I answer only for the accuracy of dates, descriptions of character, and general details of place, scene, and incident connected with those facts - Historical and Political - relating to a period when the affairs of Ireland were as a dark and tangled web, through the meshes of which shone forth, bright and beautiful, records of the undaunted courage, clear intellect, and noble self-sacrifice which characterized the lives of many of those true sons of Erin, the memory of whose revered and honoured names is still - though nearly a century has passed - fresh and green in the hearts of the Irish people. I would pray you, kind reader, to accept my novel as it stands, with all its faults - a mingled yarn of truth and fiction. I have not attempted to impress you with "style" in my literary work. I have introduced no elaborate language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
