Book Description
Excerpt from England's Case Against Home Rule Three months have elapsed since the first publication of this book. The period is short, but meanwhile events have occurred which strengthen two at least of the posi tions maintained in England's Case against Home Rule.' The Gladstonian constitution, I contended, failed to fulfil the conditions which it was meant to satisfy. That this is so is all but admitted even by Home Rulers. The defence of the Gladstonian constitution has been' abandoned, if not by its author, at least by his followers. Few indeed are the eulogies which since the dissolution of Parliament have been pronounced by the advocates of Home Rule on the Government of Ireland Bill. Criticism' has not missed its mark; the vital defects of the measure pressed last summer on the acceptance of Parliament have' been made patent to all the world. Throughout my statement of the case against Home Rule the opinion is maintained that the discontent of the: Irish people is due far more to agrarian than to political causes.

The Oxford History of the British Empire: Volume V: Historiography
Author: Robin Winks
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191542415
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 757
Book Description
The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history. This fifth and final volume shows how opinions have changed dramatically over the generations about the nature, role, and value of imperialism generally, and the British Empire more specifically. The distinguished team of contributors discuss the many and diverse elements which have influenced writings on the Empire: the pressure of current events, access to primary sources, the creation of relevant university chairs, the rise of nationalism in former colonies, decolonization, and the Cold War. They demonstrate how the study of empire has evolved from a narrow focus on constitutional issues to a wide-ranging enquiry about international relations, the uses of power, and impacts and counterimpacts between settler groups and native peoples. The result is a thought-provoking cultural and intellectual inquiry into how we understand the past, and whether this understanding might affect the way we behave in the future.
