Gaelic Prose in the Irish Free State, 1922-1939 is a
continuation of Philip O'Leary's previous path-breaking book on the
prose literature of the Gaelic Revival. The period following the
War of Independence and Civil War saw an outpouring of book-length
works in Irish from the state publishing agency An Gum. The
frequency and production of new plays, both original and
translated, have never been approached since. O'Leary has
investigated all of these works, as well as journalism and
manuscript material, and discusses them in a lively and often
humorous manner. Several writers known for their work in English,
such as Liam O'Flaherty, Sean O'Faolain, and Frank O'Connor, who
were either writing on occasion in Irish or engaging in debates
within the Gaelic movement, emerge as important figures.
With the publication of Gaelic Prose in the Irish Free State,
1922-1939, we have at last an authoritative and balanced account of
this major but neglected aspect of the Irish cultural renaissance.
This will be an essential reference book for anyone interested in
Irish literature in the twentieth century.
