This edition draws from Carleton’s early life, offering a vivid, firsthand account of a young man shaped by family pressures, athletic daring, and practical learning. It blends personal memory with the social world of 19th‑century Ireland, presenting the ambitions, missteps, and resilience that accompanied his path to literary prominence.

Readers meet a restless, observant narrator who leaps into challenges, narrates friendships and feuds, and faces trials that test both body and spirit. The narrative blends humor, hardship, and sharp observations about the communities and institutions that influenced his life and work.

Personal anecdotes from Carleton’s youth, including early feats and risks that earned him local fame

Snapshots of family dynamics, work prospects, and the search for a trade or vocation

Vivid scenes of prison life and the social networks that formed around it

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the long-awaited first volume of a multi-volume biography of the acclaimed Irish author, William Carleton, best known as "the writer of the people" and the author of Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry. Not merely introductory, this volume is a stand-alone masterpiece, as it tells in Carleton's own words the story of his life up to the point at which he was first published, as a young man on the brink of fame. Carleton had begun the autobiography decades earlier, but died before completing it. Discovered in fragmentary form after his death, and now meticulously edited, this book marks the centennial of the author's death. It is a necessary addition to the shelves of anyone interested in Carleton, Irish literature, or nineteenth-century autobiography. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330846995_0
