Surpassing Wit: Oliver St John Gogarty, His Poetry And His Prose.

CARENS, JAMES F.

55743X1 First American Edition. Columbia University Press, New York: 1979. 266 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. This is the first full-scale critical study of Oliver St John Gogarty's development as a writer. Widely admired as a wit and satirist, Gogarty is shown here as being also a writer of sensitivity. The book draws extensively on hitherto unpublished letters and traces Gogarty's relation to W. B. Yeats and the influence the two friends had upon each other. ISBN: 0231046421 $75.00USD
