A rare book which provides insight about Tressell from a
biographical point of view. Reveals more about the dramatic rescue
of the church-mural now in the Hastings Museum. A man known for his
humanity, this honest account seeks to dispel the confusion about
Tressell's life. There are many stories surrounding Robert
Tressell, the Irish writer best known for his one and only novel,
The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, which captured the minds of
thousands. A man surrounded by political propaganda and rumours,
this memoir seeks to dispel the fabrications and get to the truth
about Tressell, a man known for his humanity. The memoir was
inspired by Tressell's daughter, Kathleen, a remarkable lady who
turned up after being 'dead' for so many years. It reveals more
about her unconventional life, even exploring her interest in
psychoanalysis. Amusing and at times tragic, this personal
biographical memoir dissolves the myths surrounding Tressell, and
suggests that understanding his real life is a much better way of
understanding his thought and how his ideas can be developed for
the modern age.
