P. J. Mathews argues against the received opinion that the Irish Revival was a purely mystical affair of high culture characterized by a preoccupation with a backwardlooking Celtic spirituality, nostalgia for Gaelic Ireland, and antimodern traditionalism. Instead, he claims, the time of the Irish Revival was a progressive period that witnessed the cooperation of various selfhelp movementsthe Abbey Theatre, the Gaelic League, and the Irish Agricultural Organization Societywhich encouraged local modes of material and cultural development.These different groups were bound together by their willingness to use traditional cultural forms as the basis for an alternative modernization project. Mathews points out that these selfhelp initiatives were so successful that they very quickly opened up a sphere of influence rivaling that of parliamentary politics. Much of this activity laid the groundwork for the emergence of the Sinn Fein in 1905. Making use of important theater productions of the period, Mathews skillfully traces the connections and overlaps among these radical movements and demonstrates that the selfhelp idea was crucial to the decolonization and modernization of Irish society during the early years of the twentieth century.
