Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Michael Ciesielski and PG Distributed Proofreaders "About Ireland" by E. Lynn Linton is a political and social commentary written in the late 19th century. Linton, reflecting on her experiences and insights gained during a visit to Ireland, seeks to challenge popular sentiments and prejudices regarding Irish issues, particularly the landlord-tenant relationship and the Home Rule movement. The author expresses the need for a factual understanding of the Irish situation, as she critiques both the injustices experienced by landlords and the fervor of political agitation that she believes has misled public opinion. At the start of the text, Linton shares her journey from being a passionate advocate of Home Rule to a more balanced view after observing the realities on the ground in Ireland. She highlights the skewed perceptions that sentiment and prejudice create, often overshadowing facts and rightful claims. Her argument revolves around the legal protections afforded to Irish tenants under various land acts and the negative impacts of agitation on both landlords and tenants. Linton asserts that a focus on political sentiment rather than tangible realities has perpetuated a cycle of misunderstanding and exploitation in Irish society. She calls for a more nuanced and sober examination of the issues to promote genuine progress and peace.
