Book Summary
Wilfrid Scawen Blunt was a British diplomat and poet, who fought the case for Egyptian and Irish nationalism, and for freedom from those states he feld to be oppressed by the colonial powers. A great admirer of Islam, the author's classic text from the 1880s predicts many of the divisions hat affect the world today, and speaks of what must happen if the world is to ever be a peaceful one. Blunt became known as an ardent sympathizer with Muslim aspirations, and in The Future of Islam (1882) he directed attention to the forces that produced the movements of Pan-Islamism and Mahdism. He was a violent opponent of British policy in the Sudan and supported the national party in Egypt. Ideas About India (1885) was the result of two visits to that country, which confirmed his distrust of colonialism and his enthusiasm for self-government. In 1888 he was imprisoned for two months in Galway and Kilmainham jails after a scuffle with the police at an Irish political meeting, an experience described in the sonnets of In Vinculis (1889).
