Early life
Birrell was born in His first wife, Margaret Mirrielees, died in 1879, only a year after their marriage, and in 1888 he married Eleanor Tennyson, daughter of the poet Entry into politics After unsuccessfully contesting parliamentary seats in Liverpool, Walton in 1885 and Widnes in 1886, Birrell was elected to parliament for West Fife at a by-election in 1889, as a Liberal [Jackson, op cit p.43] . He retained his seat in the general elections of 1892 and 1895, but in the general election of 1900 he stood in Manchester North East and was defeated. He was returned for Bristol North at the general election of 1906, in which the Liberals won a large majority, and was included in the cabinet of Sir Birrell and the Suffragettes Birrell was not really in favour of votes for women and like many of his political colleagues and members of the general public he strongly disapproved of the Chief Secretary for Ireland Council Bill, Universities Bill and Land Bill Birrell's Under-Secretary was Sir Birrell had more success with his next two bills: his excellent relations with both Catholic and Protestant Church leaders ensured the successful passage of the Irish Universities Bill 1908, which established the Home Rule Bill After the passing, with the support of the Easter Rising A further threat to Birrell's administration had arisen with the formation in November 1913 of the Birrell had spent Easter in London, where Nathan had telegraphed him with news of the capture and scuttling of the arms ship the "Aud" and the arrest of Sir Personal life While Birrell's first phase as Chief Secretary was a clear success, the period from about 1912 onwards saw something of a decline in Birrell's career which was also mirrored in his domestic life. Birrell's wife Eleanor had been suffering from an inoperable brain tumour and this eventually caused her to lose her sanity. This affected Birrell deeply privately and publicly, but he did not tell his political colleagues. The quality of his public work deteriorated and as one historian has noted the severe personal strain must have been a contributory factor in "...the uncharacteristic combination of excessive zeal and indecision which marked [Birrell's] response to the Dublin industrial agitation of 1913" [Pat Jalland, "Augustine Birrell" in "Dictionary of National Biography", OUP 2004-08] . Only after Eleanor died in 1915 did Birrell begin to regain some of his old energy and effectiveness as a minister. Later life Birrell did not defend his seat in the 1918 general election, nor did he ever return to Ireland. In 1929 he accepted an honorary doctorate from the National University of Ireland, but storms in the Irish Sea prevented him from making the crossing and he had to receive his degree in absentia. [Irish Times 9 August 2008] He returned to literature with a further volume of essays and book reviews, "More Obiter Dicta" (1920) and a book on his father-in-law, Frederick Locker-Lampson. He died in Papers The main collection of Birrell’s papers, those dealing with his period as Chief Secretary, are deposited in the Further reading *"The Times", Obituary, 21 November 1933 References External links *gutenberg author|id=Augustine_Birrell|name=Augustine Birrell
