“Hyde, Douglas”的意思、由来-百科全书

Hyde, Douglas

president of Ireland

Irish Dubhighlas de Hide; pseudonym An Craoibhín Aoibhinn

born January 17, 1860, Frenchpark, County Roscommon, Ire.

died July 12, 1949, Dublin

distinguished Gaelic scholar and writer and first president of the Republic of Ireland (Éire). He was the outstanding figure in the struggle for the preservation and extension of the Irish language from 1893, when he founded the Gaelic League (a nationalistic organization of Roman Catholics and Protestants), until 1922, when the founding of the Irish Free State accorded the Irish language equal status with English.

In 1884 Hyde was graduated from Trinity College in Dublin, where he first studied ancient Gaelic. He became the first professor of modern Irish at University College, Dublin, in 1909 and held the chair until his retirement in 1932. His most important works of scholarship are The Love Songs of Connacht (1893) and A Literary History of Ireland (1899). Other works include The Bursting of the Bubble and Other Irish Plays (1905) and Legends of Saints and Sinners (1915).

During this period of academic work, he largely avoided political activity. He resigned the presidency of the Gaelic League in 1915, when it became clear that it had become a separatist organization. Later, however, he served for a short time as a member of the Senate of the Irish Free State. In 1937, when a new constitution created the office of president of Ireland, Hyde was the unanimous choice of all parties and was elected unopposed for a seven-year term.
