A rare book which provides insight about Tressell from a biographical
point of view. Reveals more about the dramatic rescue of the
church-mural now in the Hastings Museum. A man known for his humanity,
this honest account seeks to dispel the confusion about Tressell's
life.
There are many stories surrounding Robert Tressell, the
Irish writer best known for his one and only novel, The Ragged-Trousered
Philanthropists, which captured the minds of thousands. A man
surrounded by political propaganda and rumours, this memoir seeks to
dispel the fabrications and get to the truth about Tressell, a man known
for his humanity. The memoir was inspired by Tressell's daughter,
Kathleen, a remarkable lady who turned up after being 'dead' for so many
years.
It reveals more about her unconventional life, even
exploring her interest in psychoanalysis. Amusing and at times tragic,
this personal biographical memoir dissolves the myths surrounding
Tressell, and suggests that understanding his real life is a much better
way of understanding his thought and how his ideas can be developed for
the modern age.
