The Delirium of the Brave: Sacrifice for the Soul of the Irish Nation explores how failed rebellions against British rule inspired a powerful legacy of Irish patriotism, cultural revival, and the pursuit of independence. Drawn from Hesburgh Libraries' world-class Irish Studies collection in Rare Books and Special Collections and the University Archives, the exhibit features items that document the heroes, martyrs, and idealistic men and women who helped forge modern Ireland.
