Produktbeschreibung

Dr Jackson draws on a wide range of manuscript collections and contemporary political comment to produce a study which restores the Edwardian Irish Unionist movement to a British political context, and provides a new understanding of the nature of its local development.

---

This study of the Irish Unionists in the Edwardian House of Commons fills an important gap in Anglo-Irish parliamentary history in the generation before 1914, and is the first to examine the role of parliamentary action within the political strategies of Edwardian loyalism. In reconstructing a forgotten parliamentary party, Jackson sheds new light on the development of organized Unionism in Ireland, and on the bond between loyalism and British Conservatism.
