About This Item
London, England: Sampson Low, Marston & Co, 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. First edition, (preface dated) 1929. Good+ copy in fine black linen. Signature of a "John E. Mc Carthy" on the endpaper. Light wear at head and heel. No dust jacket. Donn Byrne (born Brian Oswald Patrick Donn-Byrne; 1889 â 1928) was an Irish novelist. He was firmly of the neo-romantic view of the mythical and pastoral beauty of Irish history. His writing evokes these images, sometimes seeming to want to preserve them. "It seemed to me," he says in Wind, "that I was capturing for an instant a beauty that was dying slowly, imperceptibly, but would soon be gone." His simple narrative style recalls the atmosphere of ancient oral epics such as Taine Bo Cualinge and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
