Art Maguire Or The Broken Pledge: A Narrative is a novel written by Irish author William Carleton and published in 1847. The story follows the life of Art Maguire, a young man who becomes a member of a secret society known as the Ribbonmen. The Ribbonmen are a group of Irish nationalists who are fighting for independence from British rule. Art becomes deeply involved in the organization and takes a pledge to never betray the cause.

As Art struggles with his conflicting loyalties, he is forced to make a choice that will have far-reaching consequences for himself and those around him. The novel is a powerful exploration of the themes of loyalty, love, and identity, set against the backdrop of the turbulent political and social landscape of 19th-century Ireland.
