{"product_id":"writing-beyond-the-revival-philip-o-leary-9781906359287","title":"Writing Beyond the Revival: Facing the Future in Gaelic Prose, 1940-1951","description":"This is the second volume of a two-part collection following on from O'Leary's \"Gaelic Prose in the Irish Free State 1922-1939\". The first part, \"Irish Interior: Keeping Faith with the Past in Gaelic Prose, 1940-1951\", was published in 2010. \"Writing Beyond the Revival\" explores the evolving ideology that inspired the successful campaign of writers such as Ciaran and Brian O Nuallain, and Cathal O Sandair for artistic independence from the restrictive demands of the language revival. The real progress made by writers such as Seamus O Neill with \"Tonn Tuile\" (1947) and Tarlach O hUid in his story collection \"Taobh Thall den Teorainn\" (1950) are also examined. The book includes a detailed discussion of Gaelic theatre when, under the direction of Ernest Blythe, the Abbey made the development and performance of Irish-language scripts a central element in its national mission. In revealing the vast output of writing in Irish for non-Irish readers, Philip O'Leary provides an invaluable guide for anyone studying or interested in the literature, languages, society and politics of Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip O.
