Arthur Griffith and the Advanced-Nationalist Press- Ireland, 1900-1922

Beschreibung

This book focuses upon the role of Arthur Griffith, Ireland's controversial journalist-statesman, and his fellow journalists in the context of the advanced-nationalist press, during the Irish Renaissance: 1900-1922. It evaluates the contributions to the national cause of Griffith and others and contrasts their goals for Ireland, as seen in their newspapers. It reveals the great diversity of opinion among advanced nationalists - a diversity which precluded a united front as they ought to win freedom from English rule. It assesses Griffith's long struggle, first as a journalist and later as a statesman, to unite the Irish behind his plan for an independent Irish state - and why he failed to hold the new nation together as head of its provisional Government in 1922. An index of Irish newspapers which circulated in Ireland during the period surveyed is included.
