Product Description
This little-known classic is a uniquely valuable insight into the fascinating and complex transitional period between the decline of nineteenth-century constitutional nationalism and the emergence of the modern Irish state, written by John J. Horgan, whose father had nominated Parnell for the Cork constituency in 1880. The author's account is based on his personal knowledge of the panoply of historical figures from Parnell to Pearse, and on his own involvement as an activist and observer in the turbulent period that witnessed the extinction of the Irish Party. ""Reissued with illuminating new introduction as a part of the Classics of Irish History series published by UCD Press, one of the most admirable endeavors in recent Irish publishing history.""-Irish Literary Supplement
