Autor

Ernest Augustus Boyd (1887-1946) was a distinguished Irish literary critic and author known for his incisive analysis and erudite scholarship that captured the socio-political dynamics of early twentieth-century Ireland. Boyd, a Dublin native, immersed himself in the literary and political spheres, which deeply influenced his body of work. His 1917 work 'The Sacred Egoism of Sinn Féin' remains a seminal piece that articulates the philosophy and motivations driving the Sinn Féin movement, which played a pivotal role in Ireland's struggle for independence. The book offers a critical examination of the ideological foundation of Sinn Féin, describing it as a blend of patriotic nationalism enriched by a potent strain of egoism. Boyd's literary style, characterized by a blending of academic rigor and accessibility, makes his work an essential reference for scholars studying the period. Though much of Boyd's acclaim comes from his non-fiction, he was also known for his essays and contributions to various literary journals, helping to shape the dialogue around Irish nationalism and literature. His extensive work as a critic solidified his reputation as a central figure in the milieu of early twentieth-century letters, both in Ireland and beyond. While 'The Sacred Egoism of Sinn Féin' remains his most referenced book, his wider literary corpus and role as a critic contributed significantly to the intellectual and cultural landscape of his time.
