Edited with a scholarly introduction by P. Berresford Ellis, James Connolly: Selected Writings presents a sweeping range of Connolly's essays, pamphlets, and political treatises, illuminating his fierce arguments for Irish independence, workers' rights, and the inseparable link between national liberation and socialist revolution. From his landmark work on Irish labour history to his incendiary calls for armed resistance, Connolly's prose crackles with moral urgency and intellectual rigour, making this collection an indispensable primary source for anyone seeking to understand the Irish radical tradition.\n\nEllis's judicious selection and contextual introduction situate Connolly's thought within the broader currents of early twentieth-century socialist and nationalist movements, illustrating why his ideas retained such potency long after his execution by British forces. The collection stands as both a historical document and a living testament to the power of ideas forged in the furnace of oppression — and it leaves the reader asking whether Connolly's unfinished revolution was truly defeated, or merely deferred.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49131003314395,"sku":"2026100007583-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1d5e5c72-09ab-4066-ba19-7969e3dc15fb.png?v=1786594370","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007583-secondhand-james-connolly-selected-writings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
