About the author
Born in 1884, L. G. Redmond-Howard — Louis George Redmond-Howard — was an Irish author whose books focused on Irish public life and national politics. Contemporary records and library catalogs consistently identify him as the nephew and biographer of Irish nationalist leader John Redmond, a connection that shaped much of his writing.
His best-known works include John Redmond: The Man and the Demand (1911), Home Rule (1912), The New Birth of Ireland (1913), Italy and the Italian People (1914), Sir Roger Casement (1916), and Six Days of the Irish Republic (1916). That last book remains especially notable as a near-contemporary account of the Easter Rising, written in the same year as the rebellion.
Some basic facts about his later life are harder to pin down with confidence, and even reference sources are not fully consistent about the date of his death. What is clear is that his books offer a vivid window into Irish political debate in the years around Home Rule and the revolutionary period.
