In the years before the 1916 Rising, public battles were fought in Ireland over French paintings, a maverick priest, Dublin slum children, and theatrical censorship. Controversy was "popular," wrote George Moore, especially "when accompanied with the breaking of chairs. "In her new book, Lucy McDiarmid offers a witty and illuminating account of these and other controversies, antagonistic exchanges with no single or no obvious high ground. They merit attention, in her view, not because the Irish are more combative than other peoples, but because controversies functioned centrally in the debate over Irish national identity. They offered to everyone direct or vicarious involvement in public life: the question they articulated was not "Irish Ireland or English Ireland" but "whose Irish Ireland" would dominate when independence was finally achieved. The Irish Art of Controversy recovers the histories of "the man who died for the language," Father O'Hickey, who defied the bishops in his fight for Irish Gaelic; Lady Gregory and Bernard Shaw's defense of the Abbey Theatre against Dublin Castle; and the 1913 "Save the Dublin Kiddies" campaign, in which priests attacked socialists over custody of Catholic children. The notorious Roger Casement-British consul, Irish rebel, humanitarian, poet-forms the subject of the last chapter, which offers the definitive commentary on the long-lasting controversy over his diaries. McDiarmid's use of archival sources, especially little-known private letters, indicates the way intimate exchanges, as well as cartoons, ballads, and editorials, may exist within a public narrative. In its original treatment of the rich material Yeats called "intemperate speech," The Irish Art of Controversy suggests new ways of thinking about modern Ireland and about controversy's bluff, bravado, and improvisational flair. 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Ireland$2bisacsh 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aIreland$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aIreland$xHistory$y1910-1921 607 $aIreland$xHistory$y1901-1910 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Ireland. 676 $a941.5082/1 700 $aMcDiarmid$b Lucy$0710702 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480813003321 996 $aThe Irish Art of Controversy$92451877 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01128nas 2200421- 450 001 996321418103316 005 20220601213022.0 035 $a(OCoLC)877903722 035 $a(CKB)3710000000087725 035 $a(CONSER)--2014268617 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000087725 100 $a20140422a20119999 -e- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aThalassemia reports 210 1$aPavia, Italy :$cPAGEPress,$d2011- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $a2039-4365 531 1 $aThalassemia reports 606 $aThalassemia$vPeriodicals 606 $aThalassemia 606 $aHematology$2ebps 606 $aThalassemia$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01149118 608 $aPeriodical. 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aThalassemia 615 2$aThalassemia. 615 7$aHematology. 615 7$aThalassemia. 676 $a616.152 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996321418103316 996 $aThalassemia reports$92560868 997 $aUNISA
