Wall, Mervyn Eugene Welply

    0.02 sec.

Wall, Mervyn Eugene Welply (1908–1997)

Irish writer. Born in Dublin, he was educated in Germany and at University College, Dublin. His writing is a combination of serious fiction and burlesque drama; his best-selling The Unfortunate Fursey (1946), a comedic satire of Catholic Ireland, stands in stylistic contrast to his Leaves for the Burning (1952), a meticulously crafted and strong indictment of the repression in Ireland during the 1930s and 1940s.

Wall worked as a civil servant throughout his career, rising to secretary of the Arts Council.
