In "A Journey in Ireland 1921", originally published in 1922, Ewart
relates memories of his journey of April and May 1921. He
interviews prominent figures ranging from the Dublin Castle
spin-doctor Basil Clarke, Sinn Fein activists in Cork and Limerick
to Southern Unionists, former Home Rule MPs and the writer and
commentator AE (George Russell). His attempt at a walking tour
between Cork and Belfast led to his being interrogated both by
British forces and by the IRA; his account ends with a description
of Ulster Unionist public meetings addressed by James Craig and
Dawson Bates as the Northern Ireland parliament and government were
about to come into existence.A meticulous and intelligent observer,
Ewart finds himself caught between fellow feeling for embattled
British forces and dismayed at the state to which Ireland had been
reduced. His account provides a striking pen-portrait of Ireland in
the last stages of the War of Independence.
