However, this was postponed when the First World War broke out and by the time the war had ended the political landscape in Ireland had changed irrevocably. The nationalist movement split into the followers of John Redmond who chose to fight for the British in the war in the hope that their loyalty would be rewarded and those on the other side who felt that this was just a delaying tactic and that 'England's difficulty [was] Ireland's opportunity'. Meanwhile the Unionists were violently opposed to any form of Irish self government, believing that 'Home rule is Rome rule' and this led to the signing of the Ulster Covenant and the establishment of the Ulster Volunteers. The respected historians who have contributed to this book examine the reaction to the Home Rule Bill across many shades of political opinion across these islands and give a fascinating analysis of what might have been if external events had not overtaken local ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents Cork studies in the Irish revolution\t5 Acknowledgements\t6 List of Contributors\t7 Introduction\t13 Opening Address: The 1912 Home Rule bill: then and now\t15 Dominick Chilcott 1\tWhen histories collide: the third Home Rule bill for Ireland\t22 Thomas Bartlett 2\tThe politics of comparison: the racialisation of Home Rule in  \tBritish science, politics and print, 1886–1923\t 36 Matthew Schownir 3\tLiterary provocateur: revival, revolt and the demise of the Irish \tReview, 1911–14\t63 Kurt Bullock 4\tLiberal public discourse and the third Home Rule bill\t81 James Doherty 5\tUlster ‘will not fight’: T.
