- W624813732 abstract "At intervals, as if by some effort of reaction from their surroundings, England throws up men inspired by a fine passion for liberty who are pretty certain at one time or another to come into violent contact with the prevailing authority. Exiles of literatdre in another age like Shelley or Byron find somewhat similar counterparts in men of our generation like Mr. Cunninghame Graham, Mr. Nevinson, or the author of the present book. These men, natives of a country distinguished for nothing more than for its insularity and for a certain intellectual inhospitality, have been all alike remarkable for a human sympathy with the intellectual and social ideas of un-English peoples, and they have suffered the consequences. I do not know whether Mr. Nevinson has been yet to gaol. Mr. Graham certainly has, and in the frontispiece to this book Mr. Wilfrid Blunt in the prison clothes of H.M. Irish prisons carries a convict's cap with an air that changes that dull round and top of servitude into the authentic cap of liberty. Mr. Blunt's book has two chief values. Being a personal narrative of events in Ireland, from the General Election of 1885 to the break-up of the Parnell movement in 1891, it supplements Davitt's Fall of Feudalism in Ireland and Mr. Barry O'Brien's Life of Parnell. It has the value of a contemporary historical document, the record of a man versed in public affairs and accustomed to watch from close quarters the springs of political actions. More than -that, it is the revelation, at times eloquent, but always unaffected of an unusually highminded and generous spirit. The Land War in Iredand is the transcript of a diary, and its interest is as a natural consequence largely one of personalities. But it is neither one of these political diaries transcribed with one eye on the originals and the other on the current newspaper controversy, nor one of those revelatory autobiographies furnished with everything except an index to enable us to snigger in comfort over insults to our friends. It is at once candid and chivalrous. In no other spirit should an intimate journal be written or published of a revolution in which so much that was good and evil worked and fought. His political principles, precisely because they were principles, would have made Mr. Blunt a mauvais coucheur in any political party. His consistency could not swing true to the party pendulum, and we find him, in 1885, standing" @default.
