"Paddy at Home" ("Chez Paddy") by Baron de E. Mandat-Grancey is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into the socio-political climate of Ireland, chronicling the author's observations and theories surrounding the Irish struggle against English rule. The book features various characters, including political figures and common citizens, who collectively illustrate the turmoil and aspirations of the Irish people during a time of significant upheaval. The opening of the work introduces the author’s arrival in London and sets the stage for his subsequent exploration of Ireland. As he navigates through his observations of English society and politics, he reflects on the intense atmosphere surrounding the Home Rule debates led by figures such as Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell. The narrative also touches on the Protestant-Catholic tensions in Ireland, particularly in Ulster, hinting at the deep-seated issues that would require resolution. The author aims to investigate the economic roots of Ireland's hardships, alluding to historical grievances while preparing for his more in-depth analysis of the Land League and other key movements shaping Ireland's political landscape.
