FITZ-JAMES O'BRIEN: OUR AUTHORS AND AUTHORSHIP, MELVILLE AND CURTIS IN PUTNAM'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE (NEW YORK), APRIL 1857 One can imagine a world in which there should be no bad books, and no indifferent authors a paradise of critics and of readers, in which the writing of a review would be as exhilarating an occupation as the chanting of a paean, and men would cut the leaves of a new volume with the same sweet certainty of anticipation with which they now pare a ripe round orange. A pleasant world, indeed, that would be for all of us, and the very thought of such delicious possibilities throws a momentary glow upon the page as we write. For what a very different world is this world of actual authorship and actual criticism, in which we live!... The first duty of a critic, then, is to remember that, behind every book, there is a man or rather, that there is a man in every book. He is to reflect that the mighty names, which ring through the trumpets of foreign or of antique fame, and thrill his fancy with their sounding music, are the names of men, and indicate the measure of the concentrated influences of character and intellect upon the nations of which they are the boast. And when he considers the literature of his own times, he is to examine first into the value of the personalities which inspire that literature, and pass judgment upon the present, and prophesy for the future, according to the results of that examination... How does our own literature bear the test of such criticism?

Irish Bohemian, American Fantasist Fitz-James O'Brien O f his life in Ireland and England very little is known. The available facts are so sketchy they do not include the names of his parents, while the tributes of his later friends contain statements that are sometimes contradictory. It has been established that Fitz-James O'Brien was born in County Limerick, Ireland on December 31, 1828. It is known is that he was an only child. His father was a lawyer or county coroner or somehow both and died when Fitz was about twelve. Whatever the father's occupation, he was successful, leaving a patrimony said to have been £8,000. Fitz's mother, described as "a lady of remarkable beauty," did not remarry for "a considerable time" though "when O'Brien was still a lad." Fitz was educated at Trinity College, Dublin though "not in any profession." After college, around 1849, he went to London, where in the space of two and one half years he managed two remarkable achievements. First, he "squandered" his entire inheritance. But he was not idle, for he also published "a large number of poems, stories, and articles" in Irish, Scottish, and English periodicals. Thus O'Brien's Bohemian reputation was forecast; and thus illustrated the devil-may-care attitude by which he lived and died. Other "facts" are dubious. He may also have edited a periodical devoted to the World's Fair. He claimed to have been in the English Army, but this has not been corroborated. He later referred to "one true love" he had known in Britain, who may have been a woman married to an English officer; she, he said, "marred his life" and he said he "could never love again." One published work from this period has been identified perhaps. The story "An Arabian Nightmare," published anonymously in Charles Dickens'

Fitz-James O'Brien was an Irishman who immigrated to New York in 1852. He wrote most commonly for periodicals, publishing many short stories and poems. He was once referred to as "Poe in a minor mode". This referred to the dark, horrific nature surrounding many of his pieces. Although the feel of his work was most definately one of horror, he is often considered one of the early science fiction writers, as his works showed the beginnings of the genre. While still in Ireland, he attended the University of Dublin, where he began writing verse. While still at the university, he published several of his poems in anthologies of Irish poetry. After university, he is said to have served fr a time in the British army, before immigrating to New York. In the United States, he joined the New York National Guard, in hopes of serving. This was eventually his undoing, as he died of tetanus from a wound he recieved while serving.

The Demon Of The Gibbet by Fitz-James O'Brien There was no west, there was no east, No star abroad for eyes to see; And Norman spurred his jaded beast Hard by the terrible gallows-tree. "O, Norman, haste across this waste,— For something seems to follow me!" "Cheer up, dear Maud, for, thanked be God, We nigh have passed the gallows tree!" He kissed her lip: then—spur and whip! And fast they fled across the lea. But vain the heel, the rowel steel,— For something leaped from the gallows-tree! "Give me your cloak, your knightly cloak, That wrapped you oft beyond the sea! The wind is bold, my bones are old, And I am cold on the gallows-tree!" "O holy God! O dearest Maud, Quick, quick, some prayers—the best that be! A bony hand my neck has spanned, And tears my knightly cloak from me!" "Give me your wine,—the red, red wine, That in a flask hangs by your knee! Ten summers burst on me accurst, And I am athirst on the gallows-tree!" "O Maud, my life, my loving wife! Have you no prayer to set us free? My belt unclasps,—a demon grasps, And drags my wine-flask from my knee!"

Kime In the decade that followed his arrival in the United States in 1851, the transplanted Irish- man Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) was a prolific literary journalist, producing a steady stream of contributions to newspapers, week- lies, and monthly magazines, in New York and elsewhere. As poet, short story writer, essayist, dramatist, and critic, he won a reputa- tion as one of the ablest of the young writers in the city of New York. The full range of O'Brien's talents was apparent only to his immediate contempo- raries, who encountered his latest produc- tions as they appeared in print from week to week, year after year. Soon after his early death the sense of wonder at his protean abilities began to dissipate. Readers during the Civil War fixed their attention on matters of more pressing concern, and meanwhile his works lay outside easy reach, buried in old periodical files. Although in 1881 William Winter brought out a one-volume selection of his poems and stories, for more than a century that single volume formed almost by itself the basis for O'Brien's continuing reputation.

Kime Fitz-James O'Brien Selected Literary Journalism, 1852-1860 Q. As a journalist, was Fitz-James O'Brien a leader among his colleagues? Was his style innovative? A. O'Brien was a versatile, innovative, and remarkably prolific talent, and his contemporaries especially in New York were well aware of it. At the time of his early death in 1862 as the consequence of a war wound, a New York Times editor wrote in an obituary tribute that "As a literary man, O'Brien was completely successful. His fertility was extraordinary." The same was true of his innovativeness. He was a restless, impulsive, daring spirit. Perhaps for that reason, he was more a colleague than a leader, and sometimes a difficult colleague at that. He had trouble with deadlines, and indeed with all regularly recurring tasks. If he lost interest in a project he simply stopped work on it. But when he did supply copy to the leading newspapers and magazines of his day, editors snapped it up. Q.
