Abstract

Froude's English in Ireland
July 23, 1874 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on author James Anthony Froude. Froude has remarkable literary power, a vivid imagination, skill in discovering and industry in exploring new fields of information, go far to qualify him for historical investigations. Some knowledge of Ireland, a keen eye for the dramatic side of annals filled with tragic incidents, freedom from prejudices which hamper most Englishmen in dealing with the history of a people unlike their own, seem to mark him out for the historian of Ireland. It is impossible to enumerate or even give instances of the insulting expressions applied by Froude to the Irish people and to every leader whom the Irish people have honored.
