John Redmond's constitutional, parliamentary, Irish Party went from
dominating Irish politics to oblivion in just four years from
1914-1918. The goal of limited Home Rule, peacefully achieved,
appeared to die with it.
Given the speed of the party's collapse, its death has been seen
as inevitable. Though such views have been challenged, there has
been no detailed study of the Irish Party in the last years of
union with Britain, before the world war and the Easter Rising
transformed Irish politics.
Through a study of five counties in provincial Ireland - Leitrim,
Longford, Roscommon, Sligo, and Westmeath - that history has now
been written. Far from being 'rotten', the Irish Party was
representative of nationalist opinion and still capable of
self-renewal and change. However, the Irish nationalism at this
time was also suffused with a fierce anglophobia and sense of
grievance, defined by its enemies, which rapidly came to the fore,
first in the Home Rule crisis and then in the war. Redmond's
project, the peaceful attainment of Home Rule, simply could not be
realised.
