I've been enjoying Michael Davitt's book The Fall of Feudalism in Ireland, published 1904. It gives a good deal of detail about the Captain Boycott story and the origin of the word. Bernfarr 02:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
The film Captain Boycott (UK, 1947, dir. Frank Launder) was believed by many at the time of its production to use Boycott's story as a metaphor for attempts by Hollywood to defeat import duties on films imposed by the UK government in 1947, by refusing to allow any Hollywood films into Britain until they were rescinded.

[edit] POV
POV rv. What kind of nonsense is "people in church would not sit next to him"? As Boycott was a Protestant I doubt his co-religionists would have refused to sit next to him unless out of fear, so enough with the POV bull. If Boycott were a Catholic that would be understandable and logical, but otherwise... And there was nothing in Nazi Germany commensurate with boycotting, especially against the ascendant power of the Nazis. Who boycotted the Nazis??Gandhi, maybe, but given the basic meretricious balderdash above I take nothing for granted. 216.194.57.67 (talk) 00:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
