The Politics of Repeal, originally published in 1965, delves into the final significant campaign of Daniel O'Connell's career and its profound impact on British and Irish politics. The 1840s witnessed a fervent agitation to revoke the Act of Union and restore an independent Irish legislature. O'Connell's relentless opposition to the Union between Great Britain and Ireland encountered steadfast resistance from Sir Robert Peel, and a thorough exploration of their conflict is a central theme of the book. Dr. Nowlan also sheds light on the emergence of the Young Ireland movement and the clashes between the Young Irelanders and O'Connell. The book meticulously examines the political developments during the dark years of the Great Famine, providing a detailed account of the events leading up to the Irish rebellion of 1848 and the intricate relations between Irish nationalists and French republicans during that year of revolutionary upheaval. This comprehensive work will captivate students of Irish history, British history, and political science alike.
