Ireland by Terence Brown
Terence Brown juxtaposes such key topics as nationalism, industrialization, religion, language revival, and censorship with his assessments of the major literary and artistic advances to give us a lively and perceptive view of the Irish past. In the first two parts, he analyzes the ideas, images, and symbols that provided the Irish people with part of their sense of national identity. He considers in Part Three how these conceptions and aspirations fared in the new social order that evolved following the economic revival of the early 1960s.
"The vicissitudes of the country over 57 years are objectively and readably surveyed in this pioneering bookIt should be read by anybody who wishes . . . to understand those contradictions in its people which continue to bewilder foreign observers."—Economist
"Gaelic, peasant Ireland may still inspire idealists and delight tourists. Terence Brown shows how its influence, still the vital stimulus for some poets and some gunmen, no longer dominates the essential Ireland of the later twentieth century."—Times Educational Supplement
