Collected Works of Pádraic H. Pearse (Classic Reprint): Political Writings and Speeches: Political Writings and Speeches (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A sharp, era-spanning critique of Ireland's education system and a call to national renewal.

This collection argues that schooling under English rule has dehumanized Irish children and reduced pupils to “Things” rather than growing minds. It blends political passion with personal memory, tracing how leaders, poets, and teachers shaped Ireland’s struggle for freedom.

With a forceful voice, the pages examine the purpose of education, the role of teachers, and the need for courage, beauty, and belief in the life of a nation. It reflects on historical figures and moments that fueled Irish identity, and it challenges readers to consider what true learning and leadership should look like in a country seeking self-determination.

• Provocative critique of an education system and its impact on society.
• Thoughtful reflections on Irish history, leadership, and resistance.
• Personal anecdotes that illuminate a broader political struggle.
• A call for freedom, imagination, and moral purpose in schooling.

Ideal for readers of historical political essays and Irish history who want a provocative perspective on education, culture, and national identity.
