Robert Emmet: A Life

Robert Emmet (1778-1803) was one of the most romantic of all Irish revolutionaries. His doomed relationship with Sarah Curran, his failed rebellion at the age of twenty-five and the brilliance of his speech from the dock, captured the popular imagination and created a powerful and enduring legend. Born in Dublin, the youngest son of a state physician, Emmet was educated at Trinity College Dublin before his expulsion for radical activity in 1798. He visited the continent, discussing plans for liberating Ireland with Napoleon and Talleyrand. This book reveals for the first time the complex and ingenious plans that Emmet devised for the rebellion. His attempt to seize Dublin on 23 July 1803 was a dramatic failure, and he was captured shortly after. This work draws on new archival material from Ireland, the United Kingdom, France and the United States and is the first modern study of Robert Emmet in almost fifty years.
