Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Home Rule Movement My friend, John O´Connor Power, once famous as "the Member for Mayo," gave me, shortly before his death in February, 1919, the papers he had collected in the course of his unique political career - commencing as an Irish Fenian and ending as a British Liberal. "Make what use you like of them," he says in his letter to me, "subject to one condition - they must not be made the basis of an attack upon any Irishman." It was easy for me to set O´Connor Powers mind at rest on that point. I am a historical writer, - of a sort, perhaps; but, most certainly, not a political pamphleteer. As such, I have no antipathies or prejudices. As such, I do not feel myself called upon to defend and justify, any more than I do to:. condemn and assail. What I like to think I have is sympathy with the aspirations of human nature, and pity for its struggles in the coil of adverse Fate. My sole object is simply to try to describe, to explain, to interpret, the principles and personalities of the Home Rule Movement from its rise under Isaac Butt in 1870 to its fall under John Dillon in 1918, as just one act in the extraordinary political and social drama of Ireland.
