The Shaping of Modern Ireland

Omtale

First published in 1960, The Shaping of Modern Ireland consists of a series of lectures broadcast by Radio Eireann. Their subjects are the leading Irishmen in the period between the fall of Parnell and the Rising of 1916. This was a period during which many leading Irishmen worked for a better future for Ireland within the Empire, while others had already rejected such a possibility and prepared for Revolution.
