Description 1 online resource (xiii, 324 pages) : illustrations Summary "Marked by names such as W. B. Yeats, James Joyce and Patrick Pearse, the decade 1910-1920 was a period of revolutionary change in Ireland, in literature, politics and social mentality. What fed the creative and reformist urge besides the circumstances of the moment and a vision of the future? The leading experts in Irish history, literature and culture assembled in this volume argue that the shadow of the past was also a driving factor: the traumatic, undigested memory of the defeat and death of the charismatic national leader Charles Stewart Parnell (1891). The authors reassess Parnell's impact on the Ireland of his cultural, religious, political and intellectual life in order to trace his posthumous influence into the early twentieth century in fields like political activism, memory culture, history-writing, and literature"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 30, 2020) Subject Parnell, Charles Stewart, 1846-1891 -- Influence SUBJECT Parnell, Charles Stewart, 1846-1891 fast Subject Politics and literature -- Ireland -- History -- 19th century Politics and literature -- Ireland -- History -- 20th century Historiography Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) Politics and government Politics and literature SUBJECT Ireland -- History -- 1837-1901. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068019 Ireland -- Politics and government -- 19th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068040 Ireland -- Politics and government -- 20th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068042 Ireland -- Historiography Subject Ireland Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Leerssen, Joseph Th.
