 Alabama dimension to the political thought of Charles Stewart Parnell, The Alabama Review - Find Articles
Parnell's sister, Emily Dickinson, related that after he left Cambridge in the late 1860s he "was completely wrapped up in the family and our conversations were about family matters....
He rarely talked politics to any of us."83 Parnell's own statement that he was "chiefly interested in local matters" also affirms that this was an apolitical period for him.84 These are first-hand revelations of his lack of interest in Irish politics prior to his American tour.
Finally, through the trauma of a serious railway accident, Parnell was repelled by this alien culture and thrust back to his homeland, where he was soon able to apply the principles of Irish distinctiveness, sympathy for the underdog, and national self-determination that had so unexpectedly engaged him in the American South.
