On Irish Themes: James T. Farrell - Softcover
Synopsis
This volume gathers together most of Farrell's writings on Irish literature and history during the first half of his career, as well as some of his fiction touching on Ireland. His published criticism on Joyce whom Farrell regarded as the Irish writer is here, as well as a selection of his criticism on other Irish novelists* including Frank O Connor and Sean O'Faolain. Edited, with an Introduction, bv Dennis Flynn. Foreword bv William V. Shannon). There is a timely vitality in Farrell's response to the subject he writes about that makes this work seem surprisingly up-to-date. I am particularly impressed by his objectivity a blending of sympathy and detachment that testifies to his intelligence in general. Maurice Beebe. Editor, JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE. Although a major American novelist, James T. Farrell and his work have too frequently been burdened with a spurious reputation. Despite his prolific outpouring of writings, mention of his name often evokes only his authorship of Studs Lonigan. Farrell s scholarly and critical sophistication is not generally well known. On Irish Themes helps remind us of Farrell's position as one of true greatness and reveals his life of ceaseless self-education in the pursuit of his vocation.
