Description

Explore the historical connection between Irish literature and one of the most influential magazines in the world. Irish Writers and The New Yorker in the Mid-Twentieth Century uses archival research from the New Yorker records to provide a detailed look at the publishing world of the mid-1900s. This book uncovers specific contractual details regarding first-reading agreements and the high-paying rates known as the magazine's "fat" payments. Readers gain a new understanding of how Irish writers managed their relationships with editors and peers during this era. By placing stories within their original publishing context, this work offers fresh perspectives on the literary landscape. The text examines celebrated authors such as Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Benedict Kiely, and John McGahern. Additionally, it highlights the contributions of Irish and Irish-American writers whose works are less known today, making it an essential resource for historians and literature students alike.
