Richard Hayward was one of Ireland’s best-loved cultural figures
of the mid-twentieth century. A popular Irish travel writer, actor
and singer, he led an intense and productive life, leaving behind a
remarkable body of work through his writing and recordings.
However, since his death in a car crash in 1964, the man who was a
celebrated Irish household name has suffered neglect. Originally
published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Romancing
Ireland has now been reissued in an elegant paperback edition. Paul
Clements brings to life the flamboyant personality, laced with
hubris, of a largely forgotten figure who contributed a cosy and
unthreatening narrative to the construction of an Irish cultural
world. Romancing Ireland uncovers an extraordinary man with
limitless energy and passionate perceptions, who captured a newly
independent Ireland in all its changing hues.
