This book offers a major reassessment of the work of Brendan Behan (1923-64), author of 'The quare fellow', 'The hostage' and 'Borstal Boy'. It charts Behan's intellectual journey from his early imitations of Republican verse and song to his formulation of a literature which could articulate a thoroughly postcolonial, critical nationalism.
