O'Leary, Philip

SUMMARY

Gaelic Prose in the Irish Free State, 1922-39 is a continuation of Philip O'Leary's previous path-breaking book on the prose literature of the Gaelic Revival. The development of a modern literature in Irish in the period following the War of Independence and Civil War is for the first time outlined and analysed. The period saw an outpouring of book-length works in Irish from the state publishing agency An Gum, and the frequency and production of new plays, both original and translated, have never been approached since. Philip 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. The many quotations from the works discussed have been translated into English by the author, with the original Irish versions provided in the notes. Short biographies of the leading figures are given in an appendix. This will be an essential reference book for anyone interested in Irish literature in the twentieth century.O'Leary, Philip is the author of 'Gaelic Prose In The Irish Free State 1922-1939', published 2004 under ISBN 9781904558132 and ISBN 1904558135.
