"The Framework of Home Rule" by Erskine Childers is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the political landscape of Ireland and its quest for self-governance, examining the historical context and constitutional implications of Home Rule. The author advocates for a definite scheme of self-government for Ireland, arguing that any proposal must be grounded in a thorough understanding of the historical Anglo-Irish relationship. The opening of the work establishes Childers' intent to explore the complexities of the Irish situation through a historical lens, emphasizing that any meaningful dialogue on Home Rule must account for the lessons learned from past experiences within the British Empire. He begins by positing that Ireland has, in many ways, been treated as a colony, stripped of the rights and realities afforded to self-governing territories. By grounding his argument in historical precedent, Childers sets the stage for discussing the principles of governance, self-determination, and the financial and political dimensions of the quest for Home Rule, as he contemplates the potential successes and failures of any constitutional proposal put forth for Ireland.
