Overview

The Bell literary journal was founded and edited by Sean O'Faolain and Peadar O'Donnell in 1940 and was published until 1954. Its index of writers reads like a dictionary of famous authors, some of whom were writers of stature at the time, while others were beginners, many of whom went on to become famous. This book presents the flavor of The Bell in its heyday. Writers featured are Patrick Kavanagh, Eric Cross, Flann O'Brien, Frank O'Connor, Bryan McMahon, Brendan Behan, Louis MacNeice, Monk Gibbon, Roger McHugh, Denis Johnston, Mary Lavin, Micheal MacLiammoir, Sean O'Faolain, and others. There are biographical notes on each of the thirty-nine writers included in this selection.
