Book Description
Excerpt from Irish Life and Humour in Anecdote and Story "Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story" was received with so much favour, alike by press and public, that the author formed the idea of preparing a similar volume illustrative of the wit and humour so characteristic of the Land of the Shamrock. This has now been done, and the author hopes that the book will be as cordially welcomed as was the earlier work. In its preparation many volumes dealing with the subject have been laid under contribution. Newspaper and magazine articles have been drawn upon freely. Of his indebtedness to all these the author here makes due acknowledgment. His endeavour has been to illustrate the main features of Irish character, and as a general rule he has given the anecdotes exactly as he found them - without comment or observation - leaving them to speak for themselves. A notable feature of the book is the series of splendid illustrations in colour. The pictures are reproduced with remarkable fidelity from studies by the late Erskine Nicol, R.S.A., the Scottish painter, who was so eminently successful in his interpretation of Irish life and character. The author hopes that the volume - compiled by a Scot, and illustrated by a Scot - will give pleasure to Irishmen at home and abroad, as well as to many who cannot claim to have been born in the Emerald Isle.

ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The life & works of the 20th century playwright. Bibliography of his works, translations & unpublished manuscripts. " The book is an excellent corrective of all the personal stories & memoirs, autobiographies & impressions of those who themselves were actors in the tale. Here we get perspective into the story & justice. His book will be the starting place for all who write hereafter of Synge & desire a solid base on which to build their conception. But the book is more than that. It is itself full of good criticism & alive with understanding."--SATURDAY REVIEW. Illus.
