Présentation de l'éditeur
Time hardly mattered in the village of Mucker, the birthplace of poet and writer Patrick Kavanagh. Full of wry humour, Kavanagh's unsentimental and evocative account of his Irish rural upbringing describes a patriarchal society surviving on the edge of poverty, sustained by the land and an insatiable love of gossip. There are tales of schoolboy skirmishes, blackberrying and night-time salmon-poaching; of country-weddings and fairs, of political banditry and religious pilgrimages; and of farm-work in the fields and kicking mares.Kavanagh's experiences inspired him to write poetry which immortalized a fast-disappearing way of life and brought him recognition as one of Ireland's great poets.
Biographie de l'auteur
One of the major figures in the modern Irish poetic canon, Patrick Kavanagh (1904-67) was a post-colonial poet who released Anglo-Irish verse from its prolonged obsession with history, ethnicity and national politics. His poetry, written in an uninhibited vernacular style, focused on the 'common and banal' aspects of contemporary life.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Rep[rint. London: Martin Brian & O'Keefe, 1973. Appreciated as one of the best Irish authors of the mid-XXth Century, Paddy Kavanagh's works are elusive in the trade. Mentored by A.E., he was encouraged to give up farming for literature, and the world is better for it . "The Green Fool" was initially published in 1938, whereupon Kavanagh was sued by Oliver St. John Gogarty for the close mentioning of Gogarty's wife with his mistress; oddly to us, Gogarty won his suit, the book was withdrawn, and later the two became good friends. This is a Fine copy of the Second Printing of the 1971 reissue. Black paper-covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 350 pages. The dustwrapper is unclipped; it has some minor wrinkling at the margins and a small tear to the upper left of the front cover. In an archival plastic protector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Rep[rint. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. N° de réf. du vendeur 002659
