This is a great introduction to Irish literature and writings during the Irish Rebellion Era. The organization of the book went chronological, which helped with situating the reader in the historical contexts. Also, each section of the book started with a brief introduction or overview of what was going on in the time period. I would specify that this is only a taste of what is available in the writings of the time, some of the writings were only selections from a piece and some writers were not included at all. Of course, this is only an anthology and overall the entire book is great for an intro class or to have a general overview of the time period. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the time period or Irish literature/writings. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"The Irish Revival of 1891 to 1922 was an extraordinary era of literary achievement and political ferment. This period generated not only a remarkable crop of poets and writers but also a range of innovative political thinkers and activists. The contributors to this period exchanged ideas and opinions about what Ireland was and could become, yet much of this discourse remains out of print, some of these voices almost forgotten. Handbook of the Irish Revival: An Anthology of Irish Cultural and Political Writings 1891-1922 collects for the first time many of the essays, articles, and letters by renowned figures such as James Joyce, Maud Gonne, W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Sean O'Casey, and J. M. Synge, among others. The anthology also contains pieces by less well-known individuals such as Stopford A. Brooke, Mary Colum, and Helena Molony. Many of the lesser known texts contextualize the social, political, and cultural lives, values, and aspirations of those involved in and on the periphery of the Revivalist movement. The introduction and commentary by Declan Kiberd and P. J. Mathews convey the ideas of a brilliant generation that, in spite of difficulty and demoralization, audaciously shaped a modern Ireland. Divided into sixteen sections covering issues as diverse as literature, religion, drama, education, women's rights, and the 1916 Rising, this is the ultimate reference book for anyone with an interest in Irish literature and history. "My hope is that in reading these pieces readers will be encouraged to go on to engage with the writers involved in more depth. What the editors have done is to have saved for us the evidence of some of the most sensitive, idealistic, often combative people of an extraordinary set of decades that ended a century of devastation and began a new century that presented both a promise and a set of conflicts whose consequences would endure into our own times." --Michael D. Higgins, The President of Ireland, from the book"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
