About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Popular History of Ireland Book 09, by Thomas D'Arcy McGee, read by Sibella Denton. Thomas D'Arcy McGee was an Irish refugee and a father of the Canadian confederation. His work on Irish history is comprehensive, encompassing twelve books; Book 9 subtitled “From the Accession of James I Till the Death of Cromwell”, addresses the early Stuart period’s unsettled history and the actions of that person, who, seen from the Irish perspective, was certainly one of the most villainous of men: Cromwell. (Summary by Sibella Denton)
