| Summary |
"Ireland In The New Century" by Sir Horace Curzon Plunkett is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the social and economic movements in Ireland during a time of transformation, focusing on the potential for national regeneration through constructive thought and cooperative efforts among the Irish people. The opening of the book sets the stage for Plunkett's exploration of the "new spirit" that has emerged in Ireland, marked by a shift towards practical engagement with socio-economic challenges rather than solely political agitation. He emphasizes the importance of addressing various issues, such as agriculture, industrial development, and the historical grievances that have long oppressed the Irish people. Plunkett expresses optimism that this newfound focus on cooperation and self-help can lead to a stronger national identity and economic progress, as he reflects on the past misrepresentations and misunderstandings between the English and the Irish.
