MacDonald, William | July 19, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "De Valera," by Denis Gwynn. The book has a charm of good writing and the value of exceptional competence and thoroughness. It is modestly described as neither a criticism nor a defense of the Irish president Eamonn de Valera, but rather as an attempt to discover from his record "the secret of his extraordinary personal ascendancy" and "the real object" of his economic, social, and political program. Paradox and contradiction are written large across de Valera's life from the beginning, and they form the main thread of Gwynn's critical examination.
