Beschreibung

Seamus O' Kelly is an acknowledged great of the short story form, and this collection of seven stories merits every commendation. His expertise was in the recreation of atmosphere and movement, and in this collection, his versatility in showing his Irish characters in various circumstances and aspects of Irish life is a dominant feature. The casual rhythm of his canal barge trilogy, with the unconsummated and distant love of Michael and Mary and the humorous touch in The Man with the Gift transposes the reader in thought to scenes which were familiar to the author...'

Über den Autor

Born James Kelly, Seamus O'Kelly (1875-1918) was an influential Irish writer and journalist. His birth year remains a topic of debate, ranging from 1875 to 1880. His upbringing in politically volatile Loughrea, coupled with exposure to local folklore, heavily influenced his works. Beginning his career in journalism, he became Ireland's youngest newspaper editor and was actively involved with Sinn Féin. Despite health issues, O'Kelly continued to write, offering unique insights into societal prejudices and domestic abuse. His notable works include "Waysiders" (1917), "The Lady of Deerpark" (1917), and the posthumously published "Wet Clay" (1922) and "The Weaver's Grave" (1920). He met an untimely death in 1918 following a violent attack on Sinn Féin's premises, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
