| Synopsis: |
This biography of Hannay uses original sources, family papers, and the Hannay archive at Trinity College, Dublin, to show a more complex figure than merely a novel-writing clergyman. His involvement in Irish politics, and in particular with Douglas Hyde's Gaelic League, the contemporary scandals involving his early novels and the productions of his successful play "General John Regan", and his use of comedy to point up the ironies of Irish history are documented. The book contains 31 illustrations and a complete bibliography of all Hannay's fictional, journalistic, and theological writing. |
