Handbook of Home Rule: Being Articles on the Irish Question by W. E. Gladstone et al.
"Handbook of Home Rule: Being Articles on the Irish Question" by W. E. Gladstone et al. is a collection of essays focused on the contentious issues surrounding the governance of Ireland, likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation features contributions from notable figures, including Gladstone himself, as well as John Morley and James Bryce, who engage in a rational discussion aimed at elucidating the principles behind the Home Rule movement
and addressing the intricacies of Irish governance during a period marked by social and political turmoil. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a thoughtful examination of the pressing Irish question, emphasizing the necessity for a thoughtful analysis rather than one steeped in the controversy of the times. In the preface, the writers express a commitment to addressing the Irish issue with impartiality and historical context, aiming to reconnect the public to the foundational principles that should govern the debate. They point to a perceived disconnect between the English ruling class and the Irish populace, fueled by historical grievances and unmet aspirations for self-governance. The text reveals an urgent call for a reconsideration of the existing political structures and reflects a hope that rational discourse can lead to a resolution that respects both the national sentiment in Ireland and the stability of the United Kingdom.
