In critical works that include his Dublin Trilogy - The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, and The Plough and the Stars - he portrayed the traumatic birth of a nation and delved into the Irish national character. Christopher Murray's \u003ci\u003eSeán O'Casey: Writer at Work \u003c\/i\u003etakes a fresh look at the last of the great writers of the Irish literary revival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eO'Casey was a self-made man of letters torn between a humanist vision of life rooted in his Dublin childhood and a utopian loyalty to the Soviet Union. Rich in original material, \u003ci\u003eSeán O'Casey \u003c\/i\u003ereconstructs a life committed to writing as a moral endeavour. Murray vividly establishes 'O'Casey's Ireland,' the Dublin of O'Casey's childhood, and the political situation in Ireland. Murray further explores O'Casey's rise as an international figure - much of his income after leaving Ireland came from the United States - and contrasts his mature socialist work with the early nationalistic writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSeán O'Casey \u003c\/i\u003eMurray paints a dazzling picture of a passionate and generous artist who is among the best dramatists of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828024553723,"sku":"9780773528895","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/sean-ocasey-9780773528895","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
