From his boyhood his heart was set on freeing Ireland from English rule. He entered Trinity College and made a brilliant name for himself there, but was expelled through the discovery of his affiliation with the United Irishmen. He spent several years in exile, during which period he was received by Napoleon, whom he tried unsuccessfully to interest in the Irish cause. Returning to his native land, he headed an uprising that failed. He escaped with several of his followers, but despite their protests returned to see his sweetheart, Sarah Curran, and was captured by the British soldiers. While in prison he shielded Sarah from the prying authorities, and offered to plead guilty if she was not subject to official annoyance. Despite all efforts to save him, he was executed in Dublin. The pathetic love story of Emmet and Sarah Curran is a page in history that will never be forgotten by their countrymen. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
