John Healy - Nineteen Acres - Mayo - 1987 Edition - Biography Classic - Family History ✓ In Stock

John Healy, the author, spent all his working life in journalism. He joined "The Western People", Ballina, as a cub reporter in 1948 and moved to Dublin in 1950 to join the Irish News Agency. Later he worked with the Irish Press Group before joining the Irish Times organisation in 1959, to become the youngest editor of a national newspaper, The Sunday Review. He went on to edit Ireland's oldest evening paper, The Evening Mail. As a freelance journalist he won the 1967 Television Scriptwriter of the Year Award, published his first book, Death of an Irish Town, which has become an important source book on the evolution of modern Ireland and, as well as being a best-seller, it is one of the most widely-quoted books of the last twenty years. Following its publication Healy was elected "Mayoman of the Year" for "the moral courage and integrity" he had shown in his writings. For close on two decades he wrote The Irish Times political column, "Backbencher", and in the one major study to date of the Irish media, Healy is described as "the father of modern political journalism in Ireland". Nineteen Acres was his second book. This time he pulls the focus tighter, for whereas Death of an Irish Town was a study of a rural Irish village, Nineteen Acres portrays life in the basic unit, the family smallholding. It was an instant success and, like his first book, was out of print within six months. This is the 1987 reprint ( the only reprint done) with an afterword by Healy on how he came to write the book, and with an introduction by Brendan Kennelly.  Closed tear to upper edge of spine, corners creased. Previous owner's name on front endpage.

ITS-SS4 A New Introduction to Buile Suibhne (The Frenzy of Suibhne) being The Adventures of Suibhne Geilt – A Middle Irish Romance ✓ In Stock

32 pp. 1996. ISBN 1 870 16683 3. Joseph Falaky Nagy. As is well known, the adventures of Suibhne Geilt (the madman), which were edited for the Society by J. G. O'Keeffe (Main Series 12), have inspired such modern writers as Flann O'Brien and Seamus Heaney. In his illuminating new introduction to the tale, Professor Joseph Nagy of the University of California, Los Angeles, takes Suibhne to represent a poet 'robbed of his identity, his autonomy, and his freedom from the tyranny of words'. Taking account throughout of previous scholarship on the subject, Professor Nagy examines Suibhne's remarkable story as that of a poet vacillating 'between power and powerlessness'.
