The pantheon of writers, revolutionaries, scientists, artists, reformers, and politicians featured in this deck of Knowledge Cards illustrates over 1,500 years of Irish history, culture, and achievement---from the fifth-century Saint Patrick to the Jacobite Patrick Sarsfield to Neil Jordan, director of the 1992 hit movie 'The Crying Game.' One side of each card presents a quotation by a noted Irish figure, identified only by the title and date of the work from which it derives or the circumstances in which it was spoken; the other side identifies the writer or speaker and provides a brief biographical sketch. Thus, you can use these cards as a quiz deck on Irish letters or simply as an introduction to forty-eight of the most remarkable individuals that Ireland ever produced.
