| Summary | "Ireland as It Is, and as It Would Be Under Home Rule" by Robert John Buckley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work comprises a series of letters penned by the author, who acted as the Special Commissioner for a Birmingham newspaper, capturing the sentiment around the contentious Home Rule debate in Ireland around 1893. The text reflects on the political climate, societal tensions, and the implications of the proposed Home Rule legislation, illustrating the conflict between Irish Nationalists and Unionists. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author's observations as he arrives in Dublin amidst intense discussions about Home Rule, capturing the palpable anxiety and fervid opposition among the industrial community and the educated classes. Buckley documents encounters with various individuals, revealing the wide range of opinions and the deep-seated fears regarding the potential outcomes of Home Rule legislation. Notably, he emphasizes the contrast between Dublin's anxious upper classes and the more incredulous and hopeful perspectives of the poorer, less educated communities, illustrating a complex and nuanced view of the Irish socio-political landscape at the time.
