Abstract

A consideration of the attitude toward English culture in Irish literature necessitates an understanding of the conflict of the two cultures: the conflict of the Anglo-Saxon race with an Irish race; the conflict of a Protestant culture with a Catholic culture. A critical appreciation of this conflict covers eight centuries with scarcely a suspension of twenty-four hours, may be gained by taking a dispassionate view of history of both countries; by realizing what both have achieved; and speculating intelligently on their future.
