"Peg O' My Heart" by J. Hartley Manners is a dramatic novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Irish social and political unrest, exploring themes of nationalism, identity, and the struggles of the Irish people through the lens of personal conflict. The primary focus is on Frank O'Connell, a passionate Irish agitator advocating for self-governance, and his encounters with Angela Kingsnorth, the daughter of an English landlord who becomes embroiled in the struggles of the Irish tenants. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Father Cahill, who represents the old guard of Irish society, deeply concerned about the growing agitation among the youth for political change, particularly embodied by Frank O'Connell. Their confrontation highlights the divide between the traditional authorities and the rising revolutionary spirit. O'Connell's determination to lead his people against oppression is central to the narrative, as he reflects on his tumultuous youth and plans to rally the local populace. Meanwhile, we meet Angela, who is initially shielded by her privileged upbringing but begins to question her family's legacy and the responsibilities that come with it, setting the stage for a complex interplay of personal and political loyalties as the story progresses.
