What reading level is Irishmen All book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For indeed their political power, their weight in the councils of State, is not the only thing the Irish gentry have lost. In what Michael Davitt called "The Fall of Feudalism" they have lost their land, and the revolution which changed the ownership of the soil of Ireland was brought about with great bitterness of spirit. It might indeed have been bloodier many revolutions are. There never were any actual battles ; but battles are not the worst things in the world. Assassinations and hangings ...even when they go on for years do not result in as much loss of life as a 1 06 THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN couple of well-fought battles ; but they leave much more ill-feeling behind. It is not easy for the men who lived through the "bad times" in Ireland to pass a damp sponge over the records of the past. The iron has entered into the soul of the men who took willing or unwilling part in our land war. And perhaps mag- nanimity is a harder virtue for the conquered than the conqueror to attain. The Irish gentry of the older generation still regard agrarian Nationalists as"black- guards.
