Summary note
"Born in England into a unionist clerical family, the artist Frances Georgiana Chenevix Trench became a convinced nationalist and quickly involved herself in the movement for Home Rule and political freedom in Dublin." "This is an account of the life of a young woman in early twentieth century Ireland. Cesca, as she was better known, took the name Sadhbh Trinseach during the Gaelic Revival, and kept a detailed diary of her involvement in the national movement as a member of Cumann na mBan during the build up to Home Rule, as well as writing a personal account of her presence in the Howth gunrunning and the events of Easter Week, 1916. Before the outbreak of the First World War she was at art school in Paris where she associated with students from other small countries seeking freedom. Her passion for Ireland affected her art, her love life, and relations with her unionist family." "The seven manuscript journals, written in Irish, English and French, have been translated and set in the context of their times by Hilary Pyle." "The book is liberally illustrated with her portrait sketches of friends and associates in the movement, as well as examples of her oil paintings and pastels." "This book is an invaluable resource for historians, students of the history of art, and researchers in the fields of history, sociology, politics, Irish studies and women's studies."--Jacket.
