Bulmer Hobson (1883-1969) abandoned the pacifism of his Ulster
Quaker roots to become a key leader in the Irish nationalist
movement in the period leading up to the 1916 Easter Rising.
Sidelined at a critical time and maligned by some republican
colleagues, Hobson has not been the subject of a published study
until now. This book outlines and assesses Hobson's nationalist
career in the period 1900-16, exploring his contributions to the
Gaelic League, the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Sinn Fein
movement, Na Fianna Eireann and the Irish Volunteers. It also
examines his lesser-known activities as a publisher, civil servant
and economic propagandist in the years after the Rising. As the
only study on Bulmer Hobson this book will be of interest to
historians and political scientists specializing in
twentieth-century Ireland and the Irish revolution, Irish Studies
scholars, and students of these disciplines. It will also appeal to
the general reader with an interest in the history of the Irish
revolution.
