Ireland and Poland: A Comparison

By T. W. Rolleston

This was a pamphlet written around the time of the outbreak of WWI. It was published in 'The Bohemian Review' Vol 1, No. 6 under the heading, 'New English Pamphlets'. In his scholarly essay, Rolleston compares the political scenario in Prussian Poland with that of Ireland. In both, he argues, many people do not have the privilege of Home Rule.
