Description: "Patrick Pearse was not only a leader of the 1916 Easter Rising but also one of the main ideologues of physical-force nationalism in Ireland. Based on much new material, this book provides an intimate account of the development of his ideas on cultural regeneration, education, patriotism and militarism and places them in a European context"--
