Description
The Scottish Martyrs
Authors: Frank Clune
Hard cover with dust jacket, fair condition, some wear to the dust jacket.
The Scottish Martyrs by Frank Clune recounts the dramatic and tragic story of five late 18th-century Scottish reformers—Thomas Muir, Thomas Fyshe Palmer, William Skirving, Maurice Margarot, and Joseph Gerrald—who were convicted of sedition and transported to Australia for advocating democratic reform and political liberty. Through vivid narrative and historical research, Clune brings to life their courage, idealism, and suffering, portraying them as pioneers of free thought unjustly punished by a repressive system. The book not only traces their arduous journey and exile but also explores the broader struggle for political rights and justice, linking their fate to the development of democratic ideals in both Britain and Australia.
