Douglas Hyde. [signed]

92 pages. "Douglas Hyde is another outstanding contribution to the Irish Writers Series. The present volume about Douglas Hyde, poet-folklorist and the first president of modern Irleand, contains original source material that will be vital to any future full-scale work. It draws on letters, manuscripts, and documents never before accessible to those intersted in Hyde and his place in the Iitish literary scene. It also provides a fresh interpretation of his role as he saw it in fighting for the revival of the Irish language through the Gaelic League, which he led as president from its founding in 1893 to his resignation in 1915."
