Last novel?

[edit]

The introduction states:

It was O’Flaherty’s final novel.

This is not correct. The last novel by O'Flaherty was The Wilderness, published first in 1978 by Wolfhound Press, see George Jefferson: Liam O'Flaherty: A Descriptive Bibliography of his Works, ISBN 0-86327-188-X, p. 57. --AFBorchert (talk) 22:35, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Publishers

[edit]

I would suggest to name the publisher, i.e. Victor Gollancz with whom O'Flaherty signed the contract for Insurrection in May 1950. (See p. 306 in A. Kelly: The Letters of Liam O'Flaherty, ISBN 0-86327-380-7.) Gollancz was O'Flaherty's London publisher since 1932 when he switched from Jonathan Cape. In 1951 Insurrection was published in the United States by Little, Brown and Company which was quite successful. (See reference above and George Jefferson (as above), pp. 55.) --AFBorchert (talk) 22:59, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
