Description: William O'Brien and the Course of Irish Politics 1881-1918 By Joseph V. O'Brien University of California Press Berkeley, California 1976 xiii, [1], 273 p.: frontispiece and 10 in-text illustrations; 23.5 cm. (9.25 inches). Brown cloth, with gilt-stamped spine title. Illustrated color dust jacket. Includes Appendices (3), Bibliography, and Index. First Edition "The period 1879 to 1918 was one of remarkable political development in Ireland. It began with the organization of distressed tenant farmers in the mass Land League movement and ended with the popular swing away from the constitutional movement and toward Sinn Fein, the symbol of Ireland's claim to independence from English rule. It was a period in which the Irish Question dominated English politics and the Irish parliamentary party dominated Irish political life. This study focuses on the political career of William O'Brien - journalist, agrarian agitator, member of parliament and one of the fore-most exponents of the constitutional approach to solving the quandary of Ireland's position in the British Imperial system. From 1881, when Charles Stewart Parnell himself recruited O'Brien to edit the nationalist weekly, United Ireland, to the political eclipse of the Irish party in 1918, O'Brien played a prominent, at times the most prominent, part in Irish affairs" [from the dust jacket].
