Short Desription

Ireland's literary tradition is one of her greatest glories. This intimate account of the lives and works of over 80 Irish writers includes playwrights, novelists, short story writers, poets, essayists, historians, humorists, and philosophers. Irish writing is seen within the context of each writer's life and times, and many curious details, such as the secret scribblings of an Irish rector, are revealed. Among those exposed are the author who turned to writing when he ran a sword through a fellow actor; the writer who stole a priest's name and described himself as "Irish potato seasoned with Attic salt;" and the master of words who became "the Invisible Prince." With wit and style, this book presents the essential biographical details of an astonishing range of literary genius, from Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde, to Flann O'Brien, Elizabeth Bowen, and Seamus Heaney.
