Beschreibung

Louis Walsh (1880-1942) was an Ulster solicitor and playwright who joined Sinn Fein after the abortive Easter Uprising of 1916. He was a political moderate who made distinctions between politicians and the people they rule. This is a Very Good copy of the memoir he wrote detailing his internment (and the fact that prison served well as a training ground for recruits to the Irish cause). A scarce book; interestingly, the Dictionary of Ulster Biography does not list this among his works. Green cloth binding (now faded to a uniform blue) with black lettering on the spine and cover. The Foreward is by Mrs. Cecil Chesterton (1869-1962); her husband, the brother of G.K., had died in World War One. Clean text; 112 pages, including an Appendix. A bit cocked; the Foreward is from a different, smooth paper stock than the rest of the book. Present is the scarce dustwrapper, which is unclipped, and features a gaoler and his keys. The rear panel has a list of Talbot's books available. Foxed, with staining to the flaps; some edgewear, and a 1/4" chip to the head of the spine. In an archival plastic protector. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002402
