Summary "Selections from his Prose and Poetry" by Thomas Davis is a curated collection of historical and literary writings that reflects the sentiments and concerns of Irish nationalism, likely written during the mid-19th century. This work offers insights into Davis's perspectives on Ireland's political landscape, particularly his defense of the Irish Parliament of James II and his thoughts on national identity and self-discipline. Readers can expect a rich blend of prose and poetry that draws from the well of Irish history and cultural identity. The opening of this collection begins with an introduction that sets the stage for Davis's significant contributions as an Irish nationalist and journalist, particularly emphasizing his leadership role in the establishment of the newspaper "The Nation". It outlines his historical studies, beginning with a powerful defense of the Irish Parliament during James II's reign, followed by selections of Davis's literary and political articles, and ultimately a curated collection of his poetry. It highlights his passionate advocacy for education and unity among Irish citizens, contrasting the prejudices that historically divided them. Overall, the opening portion establishes Davis as a pivotal figure in the quest for Irish independence and self-identity, dedicated to fostering a sense of national pride and collective responsibility among his countrymen.
