| Summary | "Ireland Under Coercion: The Diary of an American" by William Henry Hurlbert is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work presents a detailed narrative of Hurlbert's observations and conversations gathered during his travels in Ireland between January and June 1888, aiming to explore the complex socio-political landscape of the time. The book likely addresses the tensions surrounding Irish nationalism, political coercion, and the influence of American sentiment on Irish affairs. The opening of the narrative details Hurlbert's arrival in Dublin and his interactions upon landing at Kingstown. He shares his journey from London, which included a conversation with strangers discussing royalist sentiments, and his explorations of local issues, like the prosecution of Father M'Fadden for his role in the "Plan of Campaign." Hurlbert's reflections provide insight into the ways in which political, social, and cultural currents intersect in Ireland, illustrating a landscape filled with agitation, reform movements, and the complexities of identity. His observations not only set the stage for his commentary on the state of Ireland but also hint at the conflicting sentiments found within the Irish-American community.
