Nationalism and the Irish Party: Provincial Ireland 1910-1916

Autor Michael Wheatley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2005
John Redmond's constitutional, parliamentary, Irish Party went from dominating Irish politics to oblivion in just four years from 1914-1918. The goal of limited Home Rule, peacefully achieved, appeared to die with it.Given the speed of the party's collapse, its death has been seen as inevitable. Though such views have been challenged, there has been no detailed study of the Irish Party in the last years of union with Britain, before the world war and the Easter Rising transformed Irish politics.Through a study of five counties in provincial Ireland - Leitrim, Longford, Roscommon, Sligo, and Westmeath - that history has now been written. Far from being 'rotten', the Irish Party was representative of nationalist opinion and still capable of self-renewal and change. However, the Irish nationalism at this time was also suffused with a fierce anglophobia and sense of grievance, defined by its enemies, which rapidly came to the fore, first in the Home Rule crisis and then in the war. Redmond's project, the peaceful attainment of Home Rule, simply could not be realised.

Recenzii

an astute and intimate profile of provincial nationalism...a remarkably rich and colourful account of the working of constitutionalism in its last years of supremacy.
Nationalism and the Irish Party presents strong and stimulating central arguments, backed up with very thorough local research.
This is an ambitious and original book ... Wheatley's work is innovative in its methodology ... this is an impressive and well-written book that will become essential reading for anyone interested in Irish society before the revolution.
