Description: You are bidding on a rare vintage hardcover book titled Ireland - The Rock Whence I Was Hewn. By Donn Byrne. Illustrated. Published by Little, Brown, and Company, 1929. Eventually published posthumously by Sampson Low Marston in 1929, as IRELAND, THE ROCK WHENCE I WAS HEWN is one of the most important and personal works by the Irish-American Byrne, who died tragically in 1928, only two years after he wrote the manuscript for this book, and never saw its publication. Byrne, although born in Brooklyn of Irish parents, grew up in Ireland and identified himself strongly with his mother country, even though he eventually settled in New York where finally made his fame and fortune. An important literary testament from an important figure in the American literary renaissance. Pages are clean and tightly bound. Covers are securely attached with no cracking or splitting of hinges.
