Distinguished historian George Dangerfield delves into the intense and defiantly complicated relationship between England and Ireland, rending a vivid and even-handed panorama of the tumultuous years between 1800 and 1922, which began with the Act of Union, accelerated toward Dublin's Easter Rising of April 1916, and culminated in the partition of Ireland.The author's adroit treatment of these seminal years of modern Irish history clarifies the humanizes the terrible political, social, and economic complexities that plagued attempts at peaceful resolution. In untangling a dense story that resonates with influences as diverse and powerful as the spirit of Cuchulain and the shadow of the Vatican, Dangerfield exercises both sensitivity and scholarly reserve. The Damnable Question is an authoritative examination of a momentous era.
