| Summary |
"Richard Bermann's 1913 travel book Ireland is significant in a number of ways: it represents the last comprehensive look by an external visitor at the island of Ireland before the First World War; it astutely identifies the controversies surrounding Home Rule (an interview with Sir Edward Carson is included); it takes a sober snap-shot of Irish society at the time, including mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, and contradictions; it incorporates deliberations on history and poetry, tourism, hospitality and industry, and many other things. And, above all, it is (in German and in our English translation) a pretty good read"-- Provided by publisher |
