Introduction
This book attempts to delve into the connection between imagination and politics, and examines the many expectations and fears engendered by the Irish home rule debate.
Scope and Focus
More specifically, it assesses the ways politicians, artists and writers in Ireland, Britain and its empire imagined how self-government would work in Ireland after the restitution of an Irish parliament.
Questions Explored
What did home rulers want? What were British supporters of Irish self-government willing to offer? What did home rule mean not only to those who advocated it but also to those who opposed it?
