"Many racial, religious, social and intellectual strands have, over the centuries, been woven into the cloth of Irish genius, and it is Sean O'Faolain's achievement to have disentangled these. The wild, imaginative, disunited Ireland of the Celts, which for years was the fountainhead of Christianity ; the intrusion of Danes and Normans who defied the Irish horror of towns and began to urbanize Ireland ; the years of English ascendancy, when new populations and a new language were planted ; the upsurge of Irish nationalism and Irish letters after 1800 - all these are critically and engagingly recorded by one of the greatest living Irish writers." -- book cover.
