My first thanks are due to Mrs Beatrice Behan, the widow of Brendan Behan and owner of the copyright in his letters. Mrs Behan has throughout generously helped me with encouragement, information and forbearance. Mrs Rae Jeffs (now Mrs Peter A. Sebley) had the foresight to save Brendan's correspondence in Hutchinson's files and she willingly made it available to me. Mr Seamus de Burca, Brendan's cousin, provided much-needed personal reminiscences and family histories. Mr Rory Furlong, Brendan's stepbrother, volunteered contacts that have led to the discovery of some correspondence. Mr Ulick O'Connor, Brendan's biographer, graciously gave me the benefit of his experience and answered my many queries. Mr Nick Hem combed through the files of Eyre Methuen. Mr Cathal Goulding has always been more than willing to assist me. Both Mr lain Hamilton and Sir Robert Lusty have kindly given me permission to quote from their correspondence with Brendan. All these helpers have laboured far beyond the call of friendship, duty or scholarship; and I am profoundly in their debt. The book benefited greatly from the translations of Gaelic texts into English by Dr Richard Wall and Mr Michea.I 6 hAodha; from the comments and suggestions made by Mr John Ryan, Dr Richard Wall and Dr Brian Tyson; from the preparation of the final typescript by Miss Bea Ramtej; and from the patience and encouragement of my wife Isabelle. Thanks are also due to the University of Lethbridge for granting me a sabbatical leave to complete this work; and to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for awarding me a Research Grant as well as a Leave Fellowship without which this volume could not have come into existence. It is also a pleasant duty to record my appreciation to the staff of the University of Lethbridge Library; the Fales Library of New York University; the Morris Library of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale; the National Library of Ireland; the Royal Irish Academy; the British Library, London; and the Newspaper Library, Colindale. Some editorial material has been derived from previously published works, particularly the books by Mr Ulick O'Connor, Mrs Rae Jeffs, Mrs Beatrice Behan, and Mr Seamus de Burca. vii viii Acknowledgements My gratitude is also due to the following for support, encouragement, assistance, information, editorial material, or notification of the whereabouts of certain letters: Dr Les Allen; Professor William A.

Although the task of locating, collecting, and editing this correspondence has been mine, all those mentioned in these acknowledgements have been the guiding genius behind this book. If the names of any helpers have been inadvertently omitted, I beg their forgiveness and should like to thank them collectively. E. H. MIKHAIL Introduction Brendan Behan- unlike W. B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, and Bernard Shaw­ was not a diligent letter-writer. Almost everyone connected with him testified to this fact. According to his widow, Beatrice, he was 'not much given to letter writing'. 1 His cousin, Seamus de Burca, quoted him as saying: 'Whoever writes my biography will get no help from my letters. I never write any.'2 Rae Jeffs, the editor of his tape-recorded works, noticed that 'he was now using the telephone instead, possibly because he found it a less troublesome, if more expensive, way of communicating'.3 This was confirmed by Micheal 6 hAodha, the drama director, who wrote that 'Behan's letters are fairly scarce as he usually 'phoned';4 by Riobard MacG6rain, of the Irish language organisation, Gael-Linn, who said that Brendan 'wasn't normally a letter-writer. The phone was his prime medium of communication in dealing with individuals';5 and by Sindbad Vail, the former editor of the Paris periodical Points, who asked 'I wonder how many he wrote and how many are available?'6 Brendan himself seemed to agree when he wrote to his halfbrother, Rory: 'One of the reasons I never write letters is that I can get more than a dollar a word for writing.' 7 This claim of not being among the most prolific of letter-writers had also been made by Oscar Wilde. 'I never answer or write letters', as Coulson Kernan quoted him as saying.8 Both Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan, however, turned out not to be bad correspondents after all, considering their meteoric careers and their deaths at a relatively early age.

  • The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland
    The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland: Readership, Society and Fiction, 1922-1965. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Anthony Halpen April 2016 Anthony Halpen Institute of Irish Studies The University of Liverpool 27.03.2016 i ABSTRACT The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland: Readership, Society and Fiction, 1922-1965. Anthony Halpen, The Institute of Irish Studies, The University of Liverpool. This thesis considers the novel and the short story in the decades following the achievement of Irish independence from Britain in 1922. During these years, many Irish practitioners of the short story achieved both national and international acclaim, such that 'the Irish Short Story' was recognised as virtually a discrete genre. Writers and critics debated why Irish fiction-writers could have such success in the short story, but not similar success with their novels. Henry James had noticed a similar situation in the United States of America in the early nineteenth century. James decided the problem was that America's society was still forming - that the society was too 'thin' to support successful novel-writing. Irish writers and critics applied his arguments to the newly-independent Ireland, concluding that Irish society was indeed the explanation. Irish society was depicted as so unstructured and fragmented that it was inimical to the novel but nurtured the short story. Ireland was described variously: "broken and insecure" (Colm Tóibín), "often bigoted, cowardly, philistine and spiritually crippled" (John McGahern) and marked by "inward-looking stagnation" (Dermot Bolger).

  • EBAP and ISEB in Search of a Brazilian Administration
    EBAP e ISEB na busca por uma administração brasileira: uma imersão nos anos 1950 para iluminar o século XXI Sergio Wanderley Universidade do Grande Rio (UNIGRANRIO), Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Brasil Ana Celano Instituto Brasileiro de Mercado de Capitais (IBMEC), Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Brasil Fátima Bayma Oliveira Fundação Getulio Vargas / Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas, Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Brasil Resumo O curso de administração se tornou o maior do Brasil e forma hoje um em cada cinco concluintes de curso superior. Dessa maneira, aumenta nossa responsabilidade como educadores em refletir sobre o conteúdo que ministramos. Nossa proposta de reflexão é um mergulho nos anos 1950 − momento da criação das primeiras escolas de graduação −, com base num diálogo entre documentos daquele período e três fontes de depoimentos de ex-alunos e ex-professores da Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública (EBAP): em periódicos da época, depoimentos para o livro comemorativo dos 50 anos da Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas (EBAPE) e entrevistas atuais com alunos e professores da época. A ciência da administração que se construía na década de 1950 era vinculada ao desenvolvimento, rejeitava o apriorismo da gerência científica recebida dos EUA e buscava, a partir das ciências sociais, promover de maneira crítica conteúdo que propiciasse a adaptação das técnicas importadas à nossa realidade. Nessa busca por representar o contexto local, a EBAP se aproximou das proposições do Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros (ISEB) e da Comissão Econômica para a América Latina e o Caribe (CEPAL). A apreensão do contexto local é fundamental para a formação de bons profissionais.

  • Benedict Kiely Papers
    Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 80 BENEDICT KIELY PAPERS (MSS 38,642-38,649) (Accession No. 5070)) Literary manuscripts of the novelist Benedict Kiely Compiled by Éilis Ní Dhuibhne, Assistant Keeper, 2003-2004 Introduction Benedict Kiely (b. 1919) Benedict Kiely was born in Dromore, near Omagh, Co Tyrone, in 1919. He attended school in Omagh and later entered a Jesuit seminary in County Laois, but eventually decided against becoming a priest. Moving to Dublin, he studied history and literature at University College Dublin and subsequently embarked on a career as a journalist working for the Irish Independent, the Irish Press and others. In 1946 his first novel, Land Without Stars, was published by Methuen, and was quickly followed by others, such as In a Harbour Green (1949), Call for a Miracle (1950) and The Cards of the Gambler (1953). During this extremely prolific period Kiely also published several works of non-fiction, such as his biography of William Carleton, published in 1947, and his Modern Irish Fiction, a Critique, published in 1950. In 1964 Kiely left Ireland and spent four years in the United States, where he was visiting professor or writer in residence at various universities. He then returned to Dublin and lived as a full-time writer. He became a member of Aosdána at its foundation and was later elected a Saoí, the highest honour that organisation can bestow. Benedict Kiely has written novels, short stories, biographies, works of criticism, newspaper articles, travel books, and many radio scripts especially for the RTE programme “Sunday Miscellany”.
