The Irish Revival of 1891 to 1922 was an extraordinary era that
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 lesser-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.
