About this eBook

Author Caine, Hall, Sir, 1853-1931
Title The Little Manx Nation - 1891
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The Little Manx Nation" by Hall Caine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the identity, history, and culture of the Isle of Man, delving into the tales of its kings, bishops, and people. It is presented in the form of lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, filled with rich anecdotes and reflections that reveal the soul of this small island nation. At the start of the narrative, Caine introduces the concept of "islandness," emphasizing how deeply the sea influences the lives and identities of Manxmen. He describes the Isle of Man's stunning landscapes and the integral connection its inhabitants have with the sea, setting the tone for an exploration of its history. Caine outlines early sovereignty under Celtic and Norse rulers, exemplifying this through the legendary figure of King Orry and the establishment of a unique constitution. He hints at the rich and tumultuous history of the island, from the struggles against foreign dominators to the preservation of their customs and language, which would be thoroughly elaborated throughout the book.
