Roy Foster’s new book
2 October 2014
Roy Foster’s latest book Vivid Faces surveys the lives and beliefs of the people who made the Irish Revolution: linked together by youth, radicalism, subversive activities, enthusiasm and love. Determined to reconstruct the world and defining themselves against their parents, they were in several senses a revolutionary generation.
Vivid Faces: The Revolutionary Generation in Ireland, 1890-1923.
Review by Boyd Tonkin in The Independent.
