The world of Anglo-Irish politics was rocked to its foundations in 1889, when it was very publicly revealed that the leader of the Home Rule movement, Charles Stewart Parnell, had been involved for years in an affair with Katharine O'Shea (1845-1921), the wife of a fellow MP. Kitty, as she was slightingly called by the media, has been routinely denigrated by historians on both sides; here, Jane Jordan presents a new and balanced account of this surprisingly modern woman.
