en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iul 2023
The story of Charles Stewart Parnell, one of the greatest Irish leaders of the nineteenth century and also one of the most renowned figures of the 1880s on the international stage, and John Dillon, the most celebrated of Parnell's lieutenants. As Paul Bew shows, the differences between the two men reflect both Ireland's past and its future.The story of Charles Stewart Parnell, one of the greatest Irish leaders of the nineteenth century and also one of the most renowned figures of the 1880s on the international stage, and John Dillon, the most celebrated, but also the most neglected, of Parnell's lieutenants. As Paul Bew shows, the differences between the two men reflect both Ireland's past and its future. Every time the principle of consent for a united Ireland is discussed today, we can perceive the legacy of both men. Even more profoundly, that legacy can be seen when Irish nationalism tries to transcend a tribalist outlook based on the historic Catholic nation, even when the country is no longer so very Catholic.

Recenzii

An intricate account brings out the contrasts and commonalities in the lives of John Dillon and Charles Stewart Parnell.
A timely volume on compelling characters...Paul Bew immerses the reader in the dynamics of nationalist politics and Anglo-Irish relations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and dissects the rhetoric and mentalities underpinning them with authoritativeness and panache.
Perceptive and intelligent
Lord Bew is a great scholar and a transparently good man... it is immensely gratifying that he has brought out an excellent new book, Ancestral Voices, as a coda to his magnum opus Ireland: The Politics of Enmity, 1789-2006.
A succinct but insightful summing up of the literature on the [Irish constitutional nationalist] movement... The particular value of this book is its focus on the challenge of reconciling the two communities in Ireland, both then and now.
An absorbing study... Paul Bew combines an immense contribution to parliamentary life with prodigious work as an Irish historian, famed for his balance and fairness. Along with Roy Foster, the first professor of Irish history at Oxford, he has largely shaped our generation's understanding of Ireland's past
Bew's study of these "ancestral voices" is not some meditative re-revision of their places in the pantheon, but a granular study of agrarian agitation and parliamentary tussle.
Ancestral Voices in Irish Politics, a book for readers who share his fascination for the warp and weft of political ideas and manoeuvres, is a vehicle for two principal arguments.
A thought-provoking evaluation of both men's enduring influence on Irish politics through the present.
