An Irish Party and the British Parliament
This essay reassesses the importance of Conor Cruise O'Brien's Parnell and His Party, 1880–90 , originally published in 1957, with particular reference to its significance in the history of the British parliament. While establishing the book's continuing relevance, both as a study of a specific political phenomenon and as a model for analysing political movements, the essay questions aspects which do not hold up in the light of subsequent researc…

Irish Land and British Politics
Land was a pervasive issue in British politics through much of the nineteenth and into the twentieth century. The resonances from it were still sufficiently present for Harold Wilson in one of his 1974 election campaigns to use the 'Land for the People' slogan of the 1906 general election as a metaphor for his policy on North Sea oil. Likewise in Ireland, land was a major issue for most of the nineteenth century, and continued to have powerful po…
William O'Brien, MP
One of the less appreciated, and largely seasonal, occupations that brought Irishmen (and sometimes their families) to London was being a member of the House of Commons. Generally seen as a relatively elite occupational category, these ‘emigrés’ have often escaped the scrutiny of scholars intent on exploring the multitudinous manifestations of the Irish diaspora. This essay offers a case study of one Irish Member of Parliament, William O'Brien, w…

The formation of the United Irish League, 1898–1900
There is now an extensive literature on agrarian protest and unrest in Ireland from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, ranging from studies of secret societies to large-scale organisations such as the Land League. There has not, however, been any detailed published account of the dynamics and character of a most extensive and significant Irish agitation, the United Irish League, which was launched in January 1898. A study of this body is …

The significance of the nationalist response to the Irish land act of 1903
The Irish land act of 1903, commonly known as the Wyndham act, was the most significant achievement of George Wyndham’s term as chief secretary for Ireland. From the time of his appointment in 1900 Wyndham made the formulation of such a bill a first priority for himself and for his principal advisers. His private correspondence, especially that with Arthur Balfour, reveals how determined he was that it should provide, not the stop-gap measure of …
The United Irish League and the reunion of the Irish parliamentary party, 1898–1900
The chronic factionalism and dissension which had plagued Irish nationalist politics after the fall of Parnell in 1890 was finally brought to an end with the reunion of the Irish parliamentary party in January 1900. During the 1890s the monolithic parliamentary movement of Parnell’s time had degenerated into three separate and warring factions. One of these factions, led for most of this period by John Dillon, consisted of the majority of those w…
