| Synopsis: |
Charles Gavan Duffy and Thomas Davis - a Northern Catholic and a Munster Protestant - were the forces behind the Young Ireland movement, which aimed to make Ireland a nation with which its disparate traditions could identify. Their popular paper, "The Nation", was something new in Ireland. It fostered political reflection, literary culture and endurance of will in the mass movement which O'Connell had developed. And it gave the national movement independent of O'Connell, after O'Connell had called off the mass meeting at Contarf in response to a British threat that force would be used against it. Duffy carried on after the premature death of Davis in 1845. And, finally, he produced a biography of Davis. It is a political biography which centres on Davis's life-work in Young Ireland. |
