| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Gaelic State in the Past & Future; or, ''The Crown of a Nation''" by Darrell Figgis is a historical-political treatise written in the early 20th century. It argues that Ireland’s statehood should be rebuilt from its own historic polity—rooted in Brehon law, landholding tuatha, and functional assemblies—rather than borrowed from imperial or colonial models. Blending analysis and prescription, it reconstructs the workings of the old Gaelic State and outlines how its principles could be modernized into a sovereign, democratic framework. The opening of the work defines a “crowned” nation as one that expresses its spirit through its own State, then contends that Ireland once possessed such sovereignty and must rediscover it by studying its own history. Figgis traces the emergence of a centralized Gaelic polity from Tuathal and Cormac through Tara’s assemblies, the codification of law, and the layered organization of tuatha, brehons, elected kings, and public hospitallers, with land held corporately by the people. He explains how this system functioned, its social equity (including women’s legal standing), and its weaknesses—dynastic succession, disruptive provincial power, and the absence of a national army—which the Norman conquest froze before they could be resolved. He then surveys the broken state: invasion, partial Gaelicization of Norman lords, the Statutes of Kilkenny, Tudor reconquest, Hugh O’Neill’s bid to preserve the tuatha, Cromwellian dispossession, and the people’s quiet return to their lands beneath a landlord layer. The nineteenth-century “resurrection” follows: Emancipation, the Land War’s reassertion of the freeman’s right (including boycotting as a revival of communal sanction), cultural revival via the Gaelic League, and co‑operative societies as modern echoes of stateships. Finally, he turns to the future: discard English administrative molds, complete land purchase, and build a modern Irish State with a representative assembly anchored by specialized national councils (for farming, labour, law, education, defence) and a balancing senate—thus translating the old Gaelic polity into contemporary form.
