Wikipedia article
(original spelling ) is an Irish-language novel by Pdraic Conaire. An English translation is published under the title 'Exile'. Published in 1910, it is arguably (Peadar Laoghaire's 'Sadna' also being a contender for the position) the most important novel from the Gaelic revival. For many critics its radical social message, its sympathy with the poor and marginalised, its tendency to convey urban life honestly and fairly and its avoidance of romanticising rural life in comparison to urban life makes it the outstanding novel of the Gaelic revival.Declan Kiberd, 'Idir Dh Chultr' (Baile tha Cliath, 2002), p. 137.Philip O'Leary, 'The Prose Literature of the Gaelic Revival, 18811921' (Penn, 1994), 'passim'.
