A major 2007 study of the impact of Home Rule on liberalism and
popular radicalism in Britain and Ireland. Eugenio Biagini argues
that between 1876 and 1906 the crisis of public conscience caused
by the Home Rule debate acted as the main catalyst in the remaking
of popular radicalism. This was not only because of Ireland's
intrinsic importance but also because the 'Irish cause' came to be
identified with democracy, constitutional freedoms and
humanitarianism. The related politics of emotionalism did not aid
in finding a solution to either the Home Rule or the Ulster problem
but it did create a popular culture of human rights based on the
conviction that, ultimately, politics should be guided by
non-negotiable moral imperatives. Adopting a comparative
perspective, this book explores the common ground between Irish and
British democracy and makes a significant contribution to the
history of human rights, imperialism and Victorian political
culture.
