註釋

In this fourth and final volume, David Krause brings to a close his collection of the 2445 letters that Sean O'Casey wrote over a span of 54 years, from 1910 to 1964. At the age of 75, the beginning of the final decade of his life, O'Casey was still an active letter writer and controversial playwright although he had struggled with periodic bouts of near-blindness since early childhood. Seen through the letters, O'Casey emerges informally with all his strengths and weaknesses in full view, with all his paradoxical excesses of Irish eloquence and insecurity, kindness and vindictiveness, compassion and pride, anger and idealism, scepticism and faith.
