Synopsis
Where Ireland stands on the brink of Home Rule—and what it could mean for its future. This concise study gathers the mood, history, and arguments of Ireland’s struggle for self‑rule, mixing period voices with reflections on culture, language, and national identity.
This edition presents a clear, accessible look at a pivotal moment in Irish history. It traces hopes and fears, and how factors from nationhood to international ties shape the path toward emancipation. Readers will find context, quotes, and perspective that illuminate why Home Rule mattered then—and what it promised for the land and its people.
- Key moments and figures shaping the Home Rule movement and its milestones.
- Connections between Ireland and America, including shared history and sentiment.
- Cultural renewal topics, such as language, music, and national memory.
- Argued implications of self‑rule for politics, society, and national dignity.
Ideal for readers of Irish history, political history, and nationality movements seeking a grounded view of a defining era.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The following work has been a labor of love to the writer, one who has loved Erin earnestly and long; and has tried to serve her as best he could always, and having now reached the evening of life, is most anxious to see her free, and dis-enthralled, before the night closes in. If this little book should lessen her sufferings, which now, thank heaven, seem about to end, or hasten the dawn of liberty, he will be amply repaid for any labor it may have cost him.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an earnest plea for Ireland's liberation from British rule, tracing the many centuries of Irish struggle against oppression. The author, who has been closely involved in the cause for decades, recounts the highs and lows of the Home Rule movement in Ireland. He explores the complex entanglement of Irish politics and society, from the historic role of Irish Protestant communities to the topic of Catholic intolerance, which he argues is a myth spread by those who wish to sow discord within the Irish population. The book also critiques the actions of the British, including their failure to prevent famine and their role in the destruction of Irish industries. Through a detailed examination of events up to the eve of the First World War, the author demonstrates that Irish Home Rule was, at the time of writing, at the cusp of becoming a reality. A courageous and hopeful account, this book serves as a testament to the author's lifelong work toward a free Ireland. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
