Ireland [1913]
Imprint: Atrium
Richard Bermann’s 1913 travel book Ireland is significant in a number of ways: it represents the last comprehensive look by an external visitor at the island of Ireland before the First World War; it astutely identifies the controversies surrounding Home Rule (an interview with Sir Edward Carson is included); it takes a sober snap-shot of Irish society at the time, including mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, and contradictions; it incorporates deliberations on history and poetry, tourism, hospitality and industry, and many other things.
