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. 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. 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?

Rezensionen
The book is framed by the idea of utopianism, which Collombier defines as the hopes and fears through which people envision the future. ... the work is well-situated within the context of both historiography on Irish home rule and scholarship on changing literary trends of the turn of the century. (Katherine Haldane Grenier, Victorian Studies, Vol. 66 (4), 2024)
