Susan Langstaff Mitchell - An Irishman's Diary

Today, a new Irishman's Diary by me appears in the Irish Times newspaper. It is about the poet, journalist and editor, Susan Langstaff Mitchell (1866-1926). Born in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, Mitchell played a part in the Irish Literary Revival at the turn of the 20th century. Read it here.

Below is a copy of the front page of the Irish Homestead of 9 January 1904. This was the weekly magazine that Mitchell wrote for and also edited along with her colleague and friend, the poet and painter, George William Russell (AE).
