Conor Cruise O'Brien's second book, published in 1957, grew out of
the doctoral thesis he had submitted at Dublin's Trinity College
that, in 1954, duly earned him his PhD. In Parnell and His Party,
1880-1890, O'Brien applied a finessing scholarly eye to the figure
of Charles Stewart Parnell, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party
and formidable proponent of Home Rule whose career was abruptly
ruined by the 'Mrs O'Shea' divorce scandal of 1890 that split his
party and dominated Irish politics for a generation. For O'Brien
this schism was of more than academic interest: his maternal
grandfather David Sheehy was among the MPs who repudiated Parnell.
'An indispensable classic half a century after its first
publication . . . a profound analysis of power and charisma in
democratic politics.' Roy Foster, Standpoint 'One of the essential
books of modern Irish history, a shrewd and clarifying study.'
