Consequences of Fitzwilliam recall in England and Ireland
The piece examines the recall of Lord Fitzwilliam from Dublin as a national calamity, detailing political shifts in Britain and Ireland, the roles of Pitt, Grenville, Fox, and the Beresfords, and the resulting collapse of Irish opposition to Catholic Emancipation. It credits Madden’s The United Irishmen for clarifying how reformer ideals became revolutionary, and urges further use of his research.
