A group of essays dedicated to the noted Anglo-Irish scholar, Derry Jeffares, by distinguished colleagues, pupils and friends.
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.
MS 4876 comprises correspondence, manuscripts of books, reviews, lectures, radio scripts, files on overseas trips, and research material. There are extensive files on the journals which Jeffares edited, A review of English literature, 1957-1968, and Ariel: a review of international English literature, 1969-1973. The papers relate in particular to Jeffares' work on the writings of W.B. Yeats, William Congreve, George Moore, Walt Whitman, Jonathan Swift and Henry Handel Richardson.
