Subjects: Lords lieutenant, Political science, Politics and government, Ireland, politics and government, Ireland, history, History

Description: This work continues the argument of the author's 2001 book, 'Abject Loyalty', that in 19th century Ireland, political affinity with Britain was damaged by the sacrifice for short-term political ends of constitutional offices (such as the monarchy and lord lieutenancy) that were important for bolstering that affinity.
