|
||||||
| Active since his youth in the Irish nationalist movement, Douglas Hyde made his reputation chiefly in the cultural sphere, promoting Irish national culture. He was a professor of modern Irish language and literature at the National University of Ireland in Dublin from 1909 to 1932, and in 1925 he was elected to the senate of the Irish Free State. When the post of president of Ireland was created in 1938, he was elected to it, serving until 1945. | ||||||
