Synopsis "John Redmond and Irish Parliamentary Traditions (in English)"
New and fresh perspectives on an influential Irish nationalist politician. This collection explores the political life of John Redmond and the Irish Parliamentary Party tradition, emphasizing his early career and offering a new perspective on the legacy of the Redmond family. Using a longue durée approach, the volume spans the nineteenth-century Land War through the 1952 death of Bridget Redmond, the last member of the family elected to parliament. The book brings together an outstanding lineup of scholars from different disciplines who offer a range of new viewpoints on Redmond, the IPP, and its origins and legacies. Drawing on printed and archival sources, essays consider the influence of leaders Isaac Butt and Charles Stewart Parnell on Redmond, examine aspects of Redmond's political philosophy, reflect on the party's actions during World War I, and offer a stimulating reassessment of Redmond's attitude to women's suffrage. Taken together, they explore the Home Rule movement in a broader context, examining the continuities and discontinuities between the IPP and the parties that succeeded it. Further, the volume offers a new analysis of gender and politics in independent Ireland through an exploration of the suffrage movement and the career of Bridget Redmond. Encompassing the contemporary context of the post-Brexit landscape, this book will appeal to scholars, students, and readers with an interest in Anglo-Irish relations.
