Présentation de l'éditeur

Since the Easter rising of igi6 there has been re newed in I reland that sense of national identity which never fails to assert itself in the I rish people when the spirit of nationality seems near the point of extinction. On every such occasion this resurgent nationalism has become articulate and has seriously affected the literature of the time but it has not been until the inevitable lu Uyfollowing the storm of politics that this feeling has flowered in prose and poetry. The soailed literary renaissance followed the political aftermath of 1848j and the Fenian movement, when the patriotic literature of the Thomas Davis school made way for a literature whose patriotism had its roots in the rich soil of the Gaelic tradition, and was only incidentally concerned with the political passions of nationalism. Rescued from neglect by the pioneer editors and translators of the old literature, I rish culture began once more to live in the songs and stories of the poets, instead of dying slowly in the folk-tales of the peasantry. The creation of the Gaelic League and the heightening of the national consciousness, which were the cultural achievements of Sinn Fein, brought about a renaissance of which A n-- glo-I rish literature was but one aspect. That new spirit has culminated in the rising of IQ16, and the subsequent exacerbation of the national temper, so that the circle of experience is completed, and I reland finds herself in literature and politics back in the era of Davis and Mangan.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
