December 28, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the books "Anglo-Irish Essays," by John Eglinton and "Appreciations and Depreciations," by Ernest A. Boyd. According to the author of this article, whereas the Irish literary renaissance of recent years has given to the world at least half a dozen dramatists and poets of international reputation, and two or three novelists of distinguished literary quality, hitherto only a single critic and essayist of the first rink has emerged who is W.K. Magee. According to Magee, the modern Irishman is he "who accepts as a good European the connection with Great Britain, and yet feels himself to be far more distinct from the Anglo-Saxon than he is from the mere Irishman."
