| Gaia: | In the aftermath of the Land War, Parnell’s fortunes were far from assured. Having courted Advanced Nationalist anti-English rhetoric along with his Land League associates, he had struck a secret deal with the United Kingdom government. This article examines the changing fortunes of Parnell following the Land War 1879-82 and the establishment of the more autocratic Irish National League. It shows the role of the Catholic Church in Irish politics and the Catholic hierarchy’s ability to ignore Rome and follow their flock in national political matters. The balancing of the competing forces of Advanced Nationalism and Catholic political representation at Westminster is examined. Furthermore, it shows through a historiographic analysis that concurrent with the rise of Parnellism events leading up to the 1885 general election cemented political sectarianism into the fabric of Irish politics. |
