Description for "Beathaisnéis a Cúig, 1882–1982"
"Crua/Hardback 310 lch. Éacht taighde atá sna beathaisnéisí soléite seo ina gcuirtear síos ar bhreis agus 1,800 Gael aitheanta ó 1560 go dtí ár linn féin, daoine a bhí ag saothrú leo i ngort an léinn, na litríochta, na hiriseoireachta, na foclóireachta, na hathbheochana, amhránaithe, bailitheoirí amhrán agus díograiseoirí eile nach iad. Blúirí eolais as an ngnáth ar fad ar fáil tríd síos sna himleabhair go léir: deirfiúr le hUachtarán Chonradh na Gaeilge a chaith urchar le Mussolini, cuir i gcás; scoláire Gaeilge a raibh a haintín ag siúl amach le Oscar Wilde ach a phós údar Dracula, Bram Stoker, sa deireadh. Cé a mhol ‘conversation lozenges’ chun an teanga a chur chun cinn? Nó cérbh é an bearbóir a raibh péire pearóid ón India aige chun beannú do na custaiméirí i nGaeilge? A mammoth undertaking if ever there was one. These biographies are an introduction to who we are and where we have come from. As Phlip O’ Leary remarked, ‘All students of the Gaelic revival, indeed all students of Irish nationalism . . . are under obligation to Breathnach and Ní Mhurchú, an obligation that extends beyond gratitude for their enormous academic contribution.’ "
