Tom Kettle

The Open Secret of Ireland (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

J. E. REDMOND, M.P. - The object of Mr Kettle, in writing this book, is, I take it, to reveal to English readers what he not inaptly terms as "The Open Secret of Ireland," in order to bring about a better understanding between the two nations, and to smoothe the way to a just and final settlement of their old-time differences. Any work undertaken on such lines commends itself to a ready welcome and a careful study, and I feel sure that both await Mr Kettle's latest contribution to the literature of the Irish question. As the son of one of the founders of the Land League, and as, for some years, one of the most brilliant members of the Irish Party, and, later, Professor in the School of Economics in the new National University in Dublin, he has won his way to recognition as an eloquent exponent of Irish national ideas; whilst the novelty of his point of view, and the freshness, vigour, and picturesque attractiveness of his style ensure for his work a cordial reception on its literary merits, apart from its political value.

Autorenporträt

Tom Kettle (1880-1916) was an Irish nationalist, politician, writer, and poet known for his contributions to the Irish Home Rule movement and his work as a journalist and academic. His life and career were marked by his dedication to Irish independence, his intellectual pursuits and his tragic death during World War I. Kettle was a prolific writer and journalist, contributing to various newspapers and periodicals. His works often focused on political and social issues, and he used his platform to advocate for Irish independence and reform. He also served as a professor of economics at University College Dublin, where he influenced a generation of students with his teachings on economic theory and social policy. In addition to his political and academic work, Kettle was a poet and essayist. His writings reflect his deep commitment to Irish nationalism and his concern for the social and economic well-being of the Irish people. One of his notable works is The Open Secret of Ireland (1912), a collection of essays that argue passionately for Irish Home Rule and examine the political, social, and economic issues facing Ireland. Tom Kettle's legacy is one of intellectual brilliance, political dedication and poetic expression. His work and life reflect the complexities and aspirations of early 20th-century Ireland and his contributions have left a lasting mark on Irish history and literature.
