His controversial and provocative role in Charles Stewart Parnell
(1846-1891) wrote remarkably little about himself, but he has
attracted the attention of many writers, politicians, and scholars,
both during his lifetime and ever since. His controversial and
provocative role in Irish and British affairs had him vilified as a
murderer in The Times, and afterwards dramatically vindicated by
the Westminster Parliament. It cast him as a romantic hero to the
young James Joyce, and a self-serving opportunist to the
journalists of the Nation. Parnell has been the subject of court
cases, parliamentary enquiries and debates, journalism, plays,
poems, literary analysis and historical studies. For the first time
all these have been collected, catalogued and cross-referenced in
one volume, an invaluable resource for scholars of late nineteenth
century Ireland and Britain. Divided into fifteen chapters,
including a biographical sketch, this volume contains information
on manuscript and archival collections, printed primary sources,
Parnell's writing, Parnell's speeches in the House of Commons and
outside Parliament, contemporary journalism, contemporary writing,
and contemporary illustrations on Irish affairs, and a substantial
list of scholarly work, including biographies, books, articles,
chapters, and theses.
