{"product_id":"9780752498614","title":"Boy Republic: Patrick Pearse and Radical Education","description":"Patrick Pearse, teacher, poet, and one of the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising has long been a central figure in Irish history. The book provides a radically new interpretation of Patrick Pearse’s work in education, and examines how his work as a teacher became a potent political device in pre-independent Ireland.   The book provides a complete account of Pearse’s educational work at St. Enda’s school, Dublin where a number of insurgents such as William Pearse, Thomas McDonagh and Con Colbert taught. The author draws upon the recollections of past-pupils, employees, descendants of those who worked with Pearse, founders of schools inspired by his work - including the descendants of Thomas McSweeny and Louis Gavan Duffy – and a vast array or primary source material to provide a comprehensive account of life at St. Enda’s and the place of education within the ‘Irish-Ireland’ movement and the struggle for independence.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127370334448,"sku":"9780752498614","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780752498614_p0.jpg?v=1763637314","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780752498614","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
