Abstract
A virtually unknown petition signed by fifty prominent intellectuals protesting against the violent tactics of the Black and Tans in Ireland appeared in several newspapers in January 1921. Signatories included leading writers, scientists and academics of the day, such as Arnold Bennett, G. K. Chesterton, Walter de la Mare, Ford Madox Ford, E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Jane Harrison, J. M. Keynes, Gilbert Murray, Arthur Quiller-Couch, Dorothy Richardson, Siegfried Sassoon, May Sinclair, R. H. Tawney and Virginia Woolf. The article discusses the origins of the petition, its political context and orientation, and its significance for the literary and political history of Modernism.
