"Words of a Dead Chief" is an important text from a critical period
in Irish nationalist politics. Published in 1892, shortly after
Charles Stewart Parnell's death, it is a collection of extracts
from his speeches, including all of the best-known ones. There is
an unmistakeable political even propagandist dimension to the
publication. It was written for a nationalist audience and
particularly for followers of Parnell. Wyse-Power explains in her
preface that the purpose of her 'humble memento' was to keep the
principles which Parnell enunciated before the minds of Irish
Nationalists 'for whom there should be a rule of political faith
and conduct'. She aimed to select such passages as were most
characteristic of Parnell, of most vital importance for
nationalists to study, remember and take for guidance. This edition
includes the original introduction by C. S. Parnell's sister Anna.
The book was an immediate bestseller. It was easily accessible to a
general audience and proved highly influential, but it went quickly
out of print.
