The Collected Works of James Clarence Mangan - Prose, 1832-1882

Mangan's prose comes in a variety of forms: essays, stories, apologies, biographical sketches, comic articles, introductions to his poems and translations, a handful of surviving letters, and an unfinished autobiography. These prose publications appeared in a wide range of contemporary journals and newspapers demanding from the editors a great deal of scholarly detective work, especially when it came to Mangan's chameleon way with pseudonyms.
