This collection of essays commemorates the Parnells of Avondale and
simultaneously uses the theme of commemoration to provide an
insight into the shifting relationship between history and memory
in the case of Charles Stewart Parnell and his family. The essays
by two leading Irish historians have an elegiac tone. The authors
show an elegant and sympathetic appreciation of Parnell's career
and of how he has been viewed in Irish history since his death in
1891. Parnell's nationalism is explored and his political speeches,
the significance of his sojourn in Kilmainham, his American
connections, his funeral and the rise and decline of 'Ivy day' and
other commemorations after his death. The authors also look at the
careers of the Parnell women: his mother Delia and his sisters Anna
and Fanny who were both political activists and involved in the
Ladies' Land League; and his relationship with Katharine O'Shea,
later his wife. There is also an essay on his brother and
biographer, John Howard Parnell. The essays throw new light on the
Parnell family and their place in Irish history. They will be
valuable reading for students of nineteenth-century Ireland, the
Parnell family and the debate on 'commemoration history'.
