Miller 3.
Douglas Hyde (1860-1949), a descendant of a Protestant Anglo-Irish planter family, did much to further the causes of the Irish language and Irish nationalism. His work established him as a formidable leader of Irish opinion and he is regarded as a moving spirit behind the Irish intellectual revolution of the early twentieth century. Of this work W.B. Yeats wrote: “The men and women who made these love songs were hardly in any sense conscious artists; but merely people very desperately in love who put their hopes and fears into simple and musical words, or went over and over for their own pleasure the deeds of kindness or the good looks of their sweetheart.”
