George William Russell 
The National Being: Some Thoughts on an Irish Polity [EPUB ebook] 

Ủng hộ

In ‘The National Being: Some Thoughts on an Irish Polity, ‘ George William Russell, also known as A.E., offers an incisive exploration of Irish identity and governance in the aftermath of political turbulence at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of philosophical discourse and poetic prose, Russell delves into the essential relationship between nationhood and the individual, arguing for a reawakening of the Irish spirit rooted in its cultural heritage. The book emerges as a poignant reflection during a time when Ireland sought to redefine itself amid colonial pressures, offering insights that are both deeply personal and universally resonant in understanding the nuances of national identity. George William Russell (1867-1935) was not only a prominent figure in the Irish Literary Revival but also an influential thinker whose interests spanned spirituality, culture, and political reform. His involvement with various social and artistic movements in Ireland, coupled with his mystical worldview, informed his dedication to establishing a distinctly Irish polity. Russell’s belief in the power of art and literature as vehicles for national consciousness stemmed from his own experiences of cultural assimilation and his desire for Ireland’s self-determination. I recommend ‘The National Being’ to readers interested in Irish literature, political philosophy, and the evolution of national identity. Russell deftly articulates the struggles and aspirations of his time, making this work essential not just for understanding Irish history but also for engaging with the ongoing discourse regarding identity and governance in contemporary society.

Giới thiệu về tác giả

George William Russell (1867–1935), better known by his pseudonym AE, was an Irish writer, editor, critic, poet, painter, and Irish nationalist. He was an influential figure in the Irish Literary Revival, a movement that aimed to promote Irish literature and culture. Russell’s work reflects a deep immersion in mysticism, theosophy, and the occult, which imbues his writings with a particular spiritual intensity. ‘The National Being: Some Thoughts on an Irish Polity’ is one of his significant non-fiction works, wherein he explores ideas on the soul of a nation and the development of a cohesive Irish state against the backdrop of the emerging Irish independence movement. In this piece, Russell emphasizes a distinctive Irish consciousness and social harmony as the foundation for a prosperous and self-sustaining nation. Despite his contributions to political thought, he is perhaps more widely celebrated for his lyrical and visionary poetry, which conveys a pantheistic and mystical view of the universe. Russell’s literary style is marked by a rich, symbolic language that seeks to transcend the material and touch upon the profound truths of human existence and the cosmos. As a figure pivotal to the Celtic Revival, Russell left an indelible mark on Irish culture, both through his direct artistic output and his mentorship of other illustrious Irish writers, including James Joyce and W.B. Yeats.
