Sean O'Casey

Se?O''Casey was the quintessential Dublin playwright. In critical works that include his Dublin Trilogy - The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, and The Plough and the Stars - he portrayed the traumatic birth of a nation and delved into the Irish national character. Christopher Murray''s Se?O''Casey: Writer at Work takes a fresh look at the last of the great writers of the Irish literary revival.
