While for a long time venerated by Irish nationalists for his passionate idealism, Pearse's writings were used by extremist groups in Northern Ireland after the start of the Troubles to justify their actions. As a result his ideas came to be viewed by some commentators and politicians as dangerous, obscure and even fanatical. However, changes in modern Irish society and the recent peace process make it possible as well as important to take a fresh look at this founding father of the Irish state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a wealth of new material on his childhood and underground activities, this first full biography in more than thirty years provides an intimate and revealing account of Pearse's personality, and the development of his ideas on Irish culture, education, and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012081860848,"sku":"9780230277656","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780230277656_p0.jpg?v=1763675924","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780230277656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
