Summary

** "The Framework of Home Rule" by Erskine Childers is a recounting of early 20th-century Irish politics, detailing the country's fight for independence through self-governance in a territory of the UK and its historic implications. Written from the perspective of an advocate of Irish Home Rule, the author examines the complex history between Ireland and England, making sure to connect a scheme of self-government that Ireland would accept to its historical relationship with England. Grounding the argument in historical precedent, Childers sets the stage for dissecting the ideas of governance, self-determination, and the economic/political dimensions of the quest for Irish Home Rule. **
