St. John Ervine

November 1, 2016, Filed Under: Research + Teaching, Theatre + Performing Arts

Fellows find: Letters of St. John Ervine, playwright for a tumultuous Ireland

Connal Parr in the Reading and Viewing Room at the Harry Ransom Center

His personal story fuses both the culture and politics of his Ireland.
