Hardcover. First published in 1965, James Stephens: His Work and an Account of His Life offers an intimate portrait of Stephens, tracing his journey from the vibrant streets of Dublin to the bustling literary circles of London. Through two distinct parts, Pyle explores Stephens' evolution as a writer and thinker. In Part I, the book delves into his formative years in Dublin (18801925), examining his youthful inspirations, early writings, and the profound influence of William Blake and Theosophy on his work. It also highlights Stephens' passionate engagement with Irish nationalism, the Irish language, and his contributions to Irish epic literature.Part II shifts to Stephens' later years in London (19251950), where his philosophical musings deepened, his poetry matured, and his voice resonated through lectures in America and broadcasts back home. Pyle captures the essence of Stephens' final philosophy, his creative endeavors, and his enduring impact on Irish and international literature. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the life, work, and legacy of James Stephens. First published in 1965, James Stephens: His Work and an Account of His Life by Hilary Pyle explores Stephens journey from Dublin to London, his literary evolution, philosophical depth, and lasting contributions to Irish nationalism, poetry, and culture.
