"...a full-scale study of the political and social history of Ireland from 1850 to the 1970s. The political evolution of the Irish nation forms the basis of the book: the state of the Union, the demands for Home Rule, the violence and the compromises ending in a divided Ireland, and the separate evolutions of Eire and Ulster."

Ireland Since the Famine

World

If Daniel O Connell first articulated modern Irish nationalism, Parnell first organized it. This enigmatic, icy aristocrat became the unlikely and unchallenged leader of Irish nationalism in its early heroic phase. Without him, Home Rule would not have become the formidable cause that it was. Parnell not only mobilized nationalist Ireland, exploiting discontent with the land system and a desire for political autonomy, he also subverted the usages of nineteenth-century British politics by introducing the filibuster into the House of Commons, by dividing Gladstone s Liberal party between those who supported Home Rule and those who opposed it, and generally forced the Irish question to the heart of British politics where it remained until 1922.

Ireland Since the Famine: Volume 2

In this book Lyons traces the outlines of four conflicting cultures which coexist in Ireland: Gaelic, English, Anglo-Irish and Ulster Protestant. He contends that their interlocking patterns form the basis of Ireland's continuing conflicts. The historical framework of the book is defined by two symbolic dates: the fall of Parnell and the death of Yeats.
