First published in 1892, Grania is the story of a fisherman's daughter from the Islands of Aran, off the coast of Galway. Grania O'Malley's life is circumscribed by family duty and her destiny as wife to her feckless fiancé, Murdough Blake. When she realises her wants her only for her money and property, Grania rejects him in favour of heroism, although with tragic consequences. Through complex and skilled characterisation, Lawless evokes a vivid picture of island life, with its unforgiving landscape and grinding poverty. Using a unique poetic style, the author conveys both humour and a sense of Gaelic identity, inextricably linked with this remarkable community. Algernon Swinburne described Grania as "one of the most exquisite and perfect works in the language" and Mrs Humphry Ward praised its "breath of sensitive humanity". This scholarly edition, the first for twenty-five years, brings Emily Lawless's extraordinary novel to a new audience.

Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...finally drawing up with a cheerful clatter of swords and calivers in the middle of the little blood-stained clearing. At their head rode a young officer, Lieutenant Henry Fenwick by name. He had only arrived in Ireland a few weeks before, and this was his first campaign there. A rather noticeable young man was Lieutenant Henry Fenwick. If new to Ireland and Irish ways, he was far from being a raw or inexpert soldier. A few years' service, first in the Low Countries, then amongst the Berwick bands upon the Scotch border, had given him an insight into the art of soldiery which duller men are sometimes many times as long in acquiring. At the latter place he had attracted the notice of Sir William Drury, the Governor of Berwick, since become Lord Justice of Ireland, and, in the absence of a deputy, practically its head. Coming to Ireland at Drury's suggestion, Fenwick had found himself under the orders of Sir Nicholas Maltby, the deservedly dreaded Governor, or " Colonel," as it was then called, of Connaught. Like Drury, Maltby was one of those commanders who know when good material comes in their way, and in the young officer who had joined from Berwick he found exactly the material, which, as it happened, he particularly appreciated. Slight, unnecessarily handsome, with fine, rather sparse auburn hair, of the shade then most admired, with the dawn of a moustache of the same or even a lighter hue, and cheeks of a clear, porcelain-like pallor, Henry Fenwick looked at first sight absurdly fragile for such remarkably rough work as he was then engaged on. There was energy, however, behind that fragility, as those who were acquainted with him soon found; energy and a cold, keen tenacity of purpose which allowed nothing to turn or distract it. At the prese...

Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ..." Look to yonder tall kern, upon the top of yon heap of carrion. See if he have any information to give. He looks as if he might. If he speaks English, ask his name, and whose man he is. If he answer, report to me what he says; if not, hang him. No delay!" Lieutenant Fenwick turned away, yawning slightly a? he did so, for this early morning duty was severe, particularly to a man who at all times was a light sleeper. Hugh Gaynard caught the words. lie had resolved to die silently; these bloodhounds, he said to himself, should have no satisfaction out of him. As for death, the worst of it was over already surely! Now at the sound of that clear, incisive English voice, at the sight of that brilliant, authoritative youth--almost his own contemporary--something within him, something that was stronger than himself, that was stronger than apathy, or even rage, awoke. Die! yes, he was ready to die, that was a matter of course, but he was not going to die like that, not as one of a hardly counted list of rebels. He was not going to be killed as a wood-kern. Without waiting, therefore, for the sergeant's approach, or for the arousing prick of his pike, he lifted himself a little higher, and spoke out distinctly in English: "I am no kern. I am an Englishman. I only came here last night. My name is Gaynard." An Englishman! It was as if he had announced that he was a seraph! There was a general pause of astonishment, almost of consternation. Even the common soldiers, stolid by habit, and inured to slaughter as a matter of business, were startled, nay shocked. To kill an Englishman ignorantly, unwittingly, amongst a crowd of uncounted natives! It was a crime--worse than a crime, it was a profanation. Picture to yourself a group of American officers engaged...

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...she made a clutch at a bundle of clothes, and began making her toilette where she was, her skinny arms, bare to the shoulder, moving backwards and forwards actively as. she did so. Alley's singing had stopped instantly. Her terror of her tormentor was chronic, and never ceased entirely: she always had a feeling that Bridget might suddenly launch some unexpected missile at her--an incident not by any means, indeed, of unfrequent occurrence. Little Katty--her small garments still in a state of wild disorganisation--ran in from the other room and up to her, turning round to have some strings and buttons arranged. Alley knelt down on the floor to do so, thus bringing her face on a level with the child's. She was about to get up, her task finished, when Miss Katty--not a young lady generally prodigal of caresses--flung herself suddenly upon her, hanging on her neck like a round ripe plum, and rubbing her little warm red cheeks, as a kitten does, up and down the girl's pale satiny ones. Old Bridget, with a scowl, lifted her vulturc-like face, and glared savagely at the pair. She was about to growl out something, when the doorway darkened and Hurrish appeared, the two small boys trotting briskly in his wake. Breakfast that morning was quite a festivity! Hurrish had a string of fishes in his hands, which he proceeded to clean and prepare for broiling, taking down at the same time a large piece of bacon which hung over the chimney, and giving it to Alley to cut into slices for frying. She did so, and when the meal was ready waited upon them all, feeding Katty with a spoon, and settling a dispute between Clancy and Andy as to which was entitled to the last slice of bacon. Hurrish insisted, however, upon her sitting down and eating, heaping up a goodly...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

("It seems to be certain," says the Abbé McGeoghehan, "tha...)
"It seems to be certain," says the Abbé McGeoghehan, "that Ireland continued uninhabited from the Creation to the Deluge." With this assurance to help us on our onward way I may venture to supplement it by saying that little is known about the first, or even about the second, third, and fourth succession of settlers in Ireland. At what precise period what is known as the Scoto-Celtic branch of the great Aryan stock broke away from its parent tree, by what route its migrants travelled, in what degree of consanguinity it stood to the equally Celtic race or races of Britain, what sort of people inhabited Ireland previous to the first Aryan invasion--all this is in the last degree uncertain, though that it was inhabited by some race or races outside the limits of that greatest of human groups seems from ethnological evidence to be perfectly clear. When first it dawns upon us through that thick [pg 002] darkness which hangs about the birth of all countries--whatever their destiny--it was a densely wooded and scantily peopled island "lying a-loose," as old Campion, the Elizabethan historian, tells us, "upon the West Ocean," though his further assertion that "in shape it resembleth an egg, plain on the sides, and not reaching forth to the sea in nooks and elbows of Land as Brittaine doeth"--cannot be said to be quite geographically accurate--the last part of the description referring evidently to the east coast, the only one with which, like most of his countrymen, he was at that time familiar. Geographically, then, and topographically it was no doubt in much the same state as the greater part of it remained up to the middle or end of the sixteenth century, a wild, tangled, roadless land, that is to say, shaggy with forests, abounding in streams, abounding, too, in lakes--far more, doubtless, than at present, drainage and other causes having greatly reduced their number--with rivers bearing the never-failing tribute of the skies to the sea, yet not so thoroughly as to hinder enormous districts from remaining in a swamped and saturated condition, given up to the bogs, which even at the present time are said to cover nearly one-sixth of its surface. This superfluity of bogs seems always in earlier times to have been expeditiously set down by all historians and agriculturists as part of the general depravity of the Irish native, who had allowed his good lands,--doubtless for his own mischievous pleasure--to run to waste; bogs being then supposed to differ from other lands only so far as they were made [pg 003] "waste and barren by superfluous moisture." About the middle of last century it began to be perceived that this view of the matter was somewhat inadequate; the theory then prevailing being that bogs owed their origin not to water alone, but to the destruction of woods, whose remains are found imbedded in them--a view which held good for another fifty or sixty years, until it was in its turn effectually disposed of by the report of the Bogs Commission in 1810, when it was proved once for all that it was to the growth of sphagnums and other peat-producing mosses they were in the main due--a view which has never since been called in question.
