The crisis and tragedy which followed the naming of Charles Stewart
Parnell as correspondent in a divorce decree in 1890 remains one of
the most significant events in modern Irish politics. In this
powerful reassessment of the split, Frank Callanan reargues the
politics of Parnell's last campaign, and establishes the critical
importance of T.M. Healy's ferocious attacks on the Irish leader
for the consolidation of a conservative and reactionary Irish
nationalism. Contemporary and previously unexplored
sources-newspapers, periodicals, political speeches and private
correspondence-are used to examine the politics and psychological
character of the split. The author draws out from the bitter
controversy Parnell's articulate and incisive critique of
contemporary nationalist politics, and shows how it anticipated the
predicament of the modern Irish state. Parnell's campaign in the
split, against overwhe lming odds, emerges as a neglected political
masterpiece.
