Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irish Books and Irish People My publisher must take at least some of the responsibility for reviving these essays. All bear the marks of the period at which they were written; and some of them deal with the beginnings of movements which have since grown to much greater strength, and in growing have developed new characteristics at the expense of what was originally more prominent. Other pages, again, take no account of facts which today must be present to the mind of every Irish reader, and so are, perhaps significantly, out of date. Nobody for instance, could now complain that Irish humour is lacking in seriousness. Synge disposed of that criticism - and, indeed, the Abbey Theatre in its tone as a whole may be accused of neglecting Ireland´s gift for simple fun. Yet Lady Gregory made the most of it in her "Spreading the News," and Mr. Yeats in his "Pot of Broth." - How beautifully W. G. Fay interpreted an Irish laughter which had no bitterness in it. But the strong intellectual movement which has swept over Ireland has been both embittering and embittered. These last five and twenty years have been the most formative in the country´s history of any since Ireland became the composite nation that she now is, or, perhaps, has yet to become.
