Secret lives: Selected Poems and Prose of Susan Langstaff Mitchell Ed. Pamela Brown

Susan Langstaff Mitchell, the poet, satirist, critic, and biographer of George Moore is showcased in this “Selected Poetry and Prose” edited by Dr Kevin Kiely and Pamela Mary Brown. Mitchell’s place in the Irish Literary Renaissance remains secure amidst her luminous contemporaries: Augusta Gregory, W. B. Yeats, George Russell (AE), Padraic Colum, and J. M. Synge, among others. As a notable wit on the scene, she was also part of a romantic triangle which still echoes with the scandal. Critical comments from the era (below) bear testimony to her reputation.
