Writings on Literature & Art (Collected Works of G. W. Russell)

George William Russell, or AE as he was more familiarly known, was mentor and friend to three generations of Irish writers. To visit or to be sought out by AE was to be assured of a place in Irish literary history. This scrupulously researched volume brings together for the first time all of Russell's writings on poetry, prose, drama, and painting-writings central to understanding the role of literature, theatre, and art in Ireland's quest for self-realization.
