This original historical dissection examines the fall of Parnell and the beginning of the War of Independence. This is commonly thought of as a period in which politics were moribund and which was dominated by the cultural and literary revival. Patrick Maume challenges this view, arguing for an organic and integrated understanding of the period. He argues that politics and culture were inseparable and bases his discussion on a detailed reading of private papers, diaries, public sources and other contemporary documents. His unrivaled knowledge of the interlocking networks in a small and intimate society will revolutionize our understanding of Irish life and history.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

<p>This text traces the rise of the nationalist movement in turn-of-the-century Ireland, the gaps and incoherences of the nationalist tradition and its subsequent re-invention. The author pays particular attention to the activities of the various separatist societies grouped grouped under the title Sinn Fein, parliamentary dissidents such as William O'Brien and the mainstream parliamentary party under John Redmond. In the process, he traces the silent rise of Sinn Fein which led to its spectacular victory in the 1918 election.</p>
