Autorenporträt
Born James Kelly, Seamus O'Kelly (1875-1918) was an influential Irish writer and journalist. His birth year remains a topic of debate, ranging from 1875 to 1880. His upbringing in politically volatile Loughrea, coupled with exposure to local folklore, heavily influenced his works. Beginning his career in journalism, he became Ireland's youngest newspaper editor and was actively involved with Sinn Féin. Despite health issues, O'Kelly continued to write, offering unique insights into societal prejudices and domestic abuse. His notable works include "Waysiders" (1917), "The Lady of Deerpark" (1917), and the posthumously published "Wet Clay" (1922) and "The Weaver's Grave" (1920). He met an untimely death in 1918 following a violent attack on Sinn Féin's premises, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
