A Taste of James Clarence Mangan

James Clarence Mangan (1803-49), praised by James Joyce and W.B. Yeats as the greatest Irish poet of the nineteenth century, remained for a long time a legendary figure whose works, except for a handful of often-anthologized poems, were not easily available and remained therefore largely unread. A few years ago, Irish Academic Press undertook to change this by launching the James Clarence Mangan series. Six volumes have been published so far - a biography, a bibliography, and four volumes of poetry. Two volumes of prose, due to appear in autumn 2002, will bring the series to completion. Prose Studies presents the editors' Introduction and a characteristic specimen of Mangan's genius, "A Sixty-Drop Dose of Laudanum," as a taste of James Clarence Mangan.
