The Wearing of the Green: A History of Saint Patrick's Day Hardcover - 2001
by Mike Cronin; Daryl Adair
"An inventive, delightful, and percipient book that uses Ireland's national feast day as a means to examine the texture and drama of the history of the Irish wherever they might find themselves."--Thomas Keneally, author of "The Great Shame" and "Schindler's List."
First line
Here were thousands of persons congregated together peaceably and orderly, a considerable number of whom had on many former festivals of Saint Patrick deemed it an honour to celebrate it by the commission of the most odious and detestable properties - drunkenness, riot and disorder prevailed to an extent which was frightful to contemplate; but happily those exhibitions have passed away, never again we trust to be repeated.
