Description
some rubbing to covers and yellowed pages, clean unmarked text. The true story of James Lynchehaun, peasant land agent, adventurer and rogue - the model for Synge's Playboy of the Western World - whose brutal assault on an English landowner, Agnes MacDonnell, on Achill Island one October night in 1894 caused a sensation throughout Ireland. This gripping tale of Lynchehaun's subsequent capture, his daring escape and flight to America, paints a vivid picture of Irish society at the turn of the century and of a man bold enough to step outside its conventions.
