Romancing Ireland Zusammenfassung

Romancing Ireland: Richard Hayward, 1892-1964 Paul Clements

Richard Hayward was one of Ireland's best-loved cultural figures of the mid-twentieth century. A popular Irish travel writer, actor and singer, he led an intense and productive life, leaving behind a remarkable body of work through his writing and recordings. However, since his death in a car crash in 1964, the man who was a celebrated Irish household name has suffered neglect. Originally published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Romancing Ireland has now been reissued in an elegant paperback edition. Paul Clements brings to life the flamboyant personality, laced with hubris, of a largely forgotten figure who contributed a cosy and unthreatening narrative to the construction of an Irish cultural world. Romancing Ireland uncovers an extraordinary man with limitless energy and passionate perceptions, who captured a newly independent Ireland in all its changing hues.

Romancing Ireland Bewertungen

'A treasure trove of information, superbly researched and packed with detail' BBC Radio 'An incredibly comprehensive biography, impeccably written, and a gripping read from the start.' Belfast News Letter 'An incredible book' Patrick Geoghegan, Newstalk 'A product of great industry and astuteness, a social history, and a worthwhile exercise in reinstatement ... it restores a measure of prominence to a long-neglected figure.' Patricia Craig, The Irish Times
