The National Being

The National Being: Some Thoughts On An Irish Polity is a book written by George Russell and published in 1920. The book is a collection of essays that explores the concept of Irish identity and the role of Ireland in the world. Russell argues that Ireland has a unique national identity that has been suppressed by centuries of British colonial rule. He advocates for the creation of an independent Irish state that can cultivate and express this national identity. Russell also discusses the importance of culture and art in shaping a national identity and argues that Ireland's rich cultural heritage should be celebrated and preserved. The book is a reflection of the political and cultural climate of Ireland in the early 20th century and provides insight into the Irish nationalist movement of that time. Overall, The National Being is a passionate and thought-provoking exploration of Irish identity and the struggle for independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
