Patrick Pearse |
 | | Patrick (Pádraic, Pádraig) Pearse (Mac Piarais), teacher, writer, and Irish nationalist leader, was born Patrick Henry Pearse in 1879 in Dublin, his father being a Cornish artisan/stonemason. |
 | | In 1908, Pearse founded his own school, St Enda's, through which he did much to preserve native culture, encouraging the use of the language and participation in traditional Irish sports, and taking the boys on trips to the west of Ireland. |
 | | In her biography of Pearse, Ruth Dudley Edwards[?] claimed that Pearse had latent homosexual tendencies, though she did not suggest, nor did she rule out the possibility, that he was a sexually active homosexual. |
