Cumann Buan – Choimeádta na Gaeilge:
Tús an Athréimnithe
Máirtín Ó Murchú
Cois Life 2001 ISBN 1901176290 Saothar taighde a dhéanann athscrúdú iomlán ar Chumann Buan-Choimeádta na Gaeilge, an t-eagras a leag bunchloch na hAthbheochana i measc an phobail agus sa státchóras go háirithe. Is beag dream eile i stair na Gaeilge ar scaipeadh an oiread sin míthuiscintí mar gheall orthu, ach déanann an tOllamh Ó Murchú mionscrúdú anseo ar bhunfhoinsí nár ceadaíodh roimhe seo.
Tagann sé ar thuiscint an-chaolchúiseach de bharr na hanailíse fuarchúisí. Oireann an t-imleabhar seo don sraith Lúb ar Phár sa mhéid is go gceartaíonn sé dearcadh a bhí an-fhorleathan ach a bhí bunoscionn leis na fíricí. Ollamh Sinsearach i Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh, Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath, is ea Máirtín Ó Murchú. Iar-Stiúrthóir na Scoile agus iar-Ollamh le Gaeilge i gColáiste na Tríonóide is ea é chomh maith.
A total re-evaluation of Cumann Buan-Choimeádta na Gaeilge (SPIL – The Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language), which laid the foundations for the 20th century language Revival. Its influence on the general public and in particular on the state system is examined. Few organisations have been as misunderstood as SPIL but with his examination and dispassionate analysis of previously unused sources Professor Ó Murchú comes to a radically new position.
This volume is particularly well suited to the Lúb ar Phár (‘re-vision’) series as it corrects a widely-held view which was totally at odds with the facts.
