'I thought that no man liveth and dieth to himself, so I put
behind what I thought and what I did the panorama of the world I
lived in - the things that made me.' Sean O'Casey, 1948
Sean O'Casey's six-part Autobiography, originally published
between 1939 and 1955, is an eloquently comprehensive self-portrait
of an artist's life and times, unsurpassed in literature.
"Drums Under the Windows" (1945) sees O'Casey's young
(pre-writing) life taking shape amid the extraordinary tumult of
Ireland in the early twentieth century, thus leading him into the
fray of the Easter Rising of 1916. "Inishfallen, Fare Thee Well"
(1949) charts the steps towards his emigration from Ireland in
1926: a move pressed upon O'Casey by his hard struggle against the
restrictions and prohibitions wrought by Irish society, church and
state.
