Description

When Patrick Pearse founded an Irish language school for boys in 1908 his aim was to create a modern, Irish male citizen from the ancient models of masculinity. Pearse's Patriots explores how the idea of a modern Irish boyhood was created at St. Enda's through Christian iconography and mythology as well as a modern preoccupation with patriotism, Gaelic games, theatre and juvenile literature

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
