This study of the Irish Unionists in the Edwardian House of Commons fills an important gap in Anglo-Irish parliamentary history in the generation before 1914, and is the first to examine the role of parliamentary action within the political strategies of Edwardian loyalism. In reconstructing a forgotten parliamentary party, Jackson sheds new light on the development of organized Unionism in Ireland, and on the bond between loyalism and British Conservatism.
