Über den Autor
James Stephens (1880-1950) was a Dublin-born writer whose work was a celebration of Irish identity. As a poet and novelist, he produced original stories and vibrant retellings of classic myths. His most notable titles include The Charwoman's Daughter, The Crock of Gold and The Insurrection in Dublin a bold account of 1916's Easter Rebellion. Stephen's working-class roots and national pride made him a fixture during the Irish Literary Revival alongside peers W.B. Yeats and Padraic Colum.
