Item description from seller

Born in 1902, Francis Stuart was raised among rich Ulster Unionist relations following the suicide of his father. At seventeen he married Maud Gonne's daughter, Iseult. Stuart was imprisoned on the Republican side in the Irish Civil War, then in 1939 accepted a university post in Berlin where he fell in love with a student, Madeleine Meissner, whom he refused to abandon when it became possible to return to Ireland. Living in near starvation in Germany after their release, Stuart wrote some of his major novels. A study of the work of one of Ireland's foremost writers, not just a critical analysis of the literature but also a guide to the philosophical outlook and creative motivations that underpin Stuart's work. 196 pages.
