Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"In four Library of Congress lectures, also published as articles in the New York Review of Books , the eminent literary biographer . . . finds interesting if not new things to say about four great Irish-born writers," observed PW , remarking that the late Ellmann "finds connections as well as differences among these writers."

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best bet,
This review is from: Four Dubliners: Wilde, Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett (Paperback)
There are many things we must thank Richard Ellmann for. First of all, his poetry anthologies. Second, his biographies on Wilde, Yeats and Joyce. And finally, this short, delightful, easy-reading book. Four conferences about the best Irish writers ever: Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett. And the four are masterpieces. They do not talk about the "common places" you are suppossed to here while being in a conference, they try to express a fact, a situation, a place that defines the person they are talking about: Wilde in Oxford, Yeats in his "old age", Joyce and his anxiety looking for facts to write about, Beckett and Naught. I think that everyone interested on these authors should read the book.
