James Stephens (1880–1950) had a significant reputation during the interwar years, both as a poet and a writer of short stories. Combining a Revivalist interest in imaginative texts from Ireland’s past, with an instinct for social realism, Stephens created a distinctive and admired body of work and was the subject of significant critical attention in the decades following his death. This essay explores a little-known dimension of Stephens’ life and professional career – his relationship with his American patron, W. T. H. Howe (1868–1939). Howe was a supportive presence in Stephens’ life, hosting him at his home, ‘Freelands’, for extended periods and collaborating with him on a number of publishing projects. Using a range of archival sources, this essay considers the place of this relationship in Stephens’ career and the factors which led to its conclusion.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1970, the Irish University Review has sought to foster and publish the best scholarly research and critical debate in Irish literary and cultural studies. The first issue contained contributions by Austin Clarke, John Montague, Sean O"Faolain, and Conor Cruise O"Brien, among others. Today, the journal publishes the best literary and cultural criticism by established and emerging scholars in Irish Studies. It is published twice annually, in the Spring and Autumn of each year. The journal is based in University College Dublin, where it was founded in 1970 by Professor Maurice Harmon, who edited the journal from 1970 to 1987. It has subsequently been edited by Professor Christopher Murray (1987-1997).
