Irish Home Rule considers the pre-eminent issue in British politics
during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries. It is the
first account to explain the various self-government plans, to
place these in context and examine the motives for putting the
schemes forward. The book distinguishes between moral and material
home rulers, making the point that the first appealed especially to
outsiders, some Protestants and the intelligentsia, who saw in
self-government a means to reconcile Ireland's antagonistic
traditions. In contrast, material home rulers viewed a Dublin
Parliament as a forum of Catholic interests. This account appraises
the home rule movement from a fresh angle, distinguishing it from
the usual division drawn between physical force and constitutional
nationalists It maintains that an ideological continuity runs from
Young Ireland, the Fenians, the early home rulers including Isaac
Butt and Charles Stewart Parnell, to the Gaelic Revivalists to the
Men of 1916. These nationalists are distinguishable from material
home rulers not on the basis of methods or strategy but by a
fundamental ideological cleavage. -- .
