Reading Brendan Behan
Samuel Beckett referred to Brendan Behan as "the new O'Casey" and yet, despite all his international success, despite his enduring popularity, and perhaps because of his fame (and indeed, notoriety), Behan remains a neglected figure in literary criticism today. Penned by an impressive group of international scholars, Reading Brendan Behan looks beyond the author's all-too-well-known personality and focuses on what ultimately matters - the writing. This is why this new volume edited by leading Irish Studies expert, John McCourt, is so timely.
It explores how Behan sought to identify the proper role for the post-independence Irish writer in a country where Reading Brendan Behan is the first volume in 20 years to focus on Behan's rich and eclectic body of creative works - his poetry and plays in Irish and English, his short stories and his extraordinary autobiographical novel, Borstal Boy.
