WORLD WAR I AND THE QUESTION OF ULSTER - The Correspondence of Lilian and Wilfrid Spender by Margaret Baguley. Based on a collection of some 2750 letters in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, this book is an edited selection of the wartime correspondence of Sir Wilfrid and Lady Lilian Spender against the backdrop of war in France and the political situation in Ulster. Their correspondence provides a fascinating insight into economic and social life in wartime London combined with delightful political gossip and withering portraits of the major political figures of the day. There is much black humour in the letters and they present characters who might often be seen as aloof (such as Sir Edward Carson) in a jovial and down to earth manner. This is an accessible and unique source for both the academic and general reader interested in British, Irish and Northern Irish history, in particular those interested in British-Irish relations following the crisis over the Third Home Rule Bill, the military history of the first world war, the development of Ulster Unionism and the splits in Irish Unionism during the first world war. Hardback, 572 pages. Published price £45 – OUR PRICE £40.99.
