Richard Ellmann

Richard David Ellmann (March 15, 1918 – May 13, 1987) was a prominent American literary critic and biographer of the Irish writers James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and William Butler Yeats. He won the U.S. National Book Award for Nonfiction for ''James Joyce'' (1959),〔

(With acceptance speech by Ellman.)〕
which is one of the most acclaimed literary biographies of the 20th century; its 1982 revised edition was similarly recognised with the award of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. A liberal humanist, Ellmann's academic work generally focused on the major modernist writers of the twentieth century.
==Life==

Ellmann was born at Highland Park, Michigan, the second of three children (all sons) of James Isaac Ellmann, lawyer, a Jewish Romanian immigrant, and his wife, Jeanette Barsook, an immigrant from Kiev. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. He studied at Yale University, receiving his B.A. (1939), his M.A. (1941) and his PhD. (1947) for which he won the John Addison Porter Prize.〔Historical Register of Yale University, 1937-1951 (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1952), p. 80.〕
In 1947 he was awarded a B.Litt degree (an earlier form of the M.Litt) from the University of Dublin (Trinity College), where he was resident while researching his biography of Yeats.〔1970 TCD Association Register.〕 As a Yale undergraduate (Jonathan Edwards College), Ellmann was a member of Phi Beta Kappa (scholastic honor society); Chi Delta Theta (literary honor society); and, with James Jesus Angleton, The Yale Literary Magazine (Executive Editorial Board). He achieved “Scholar of the Second Rank” (current equivalent: Magna Cum Laude). The 1939 Yale Banner (undergraduate yearbook) published an untitled Ellmann account (similar in concept and style to Oscar Wilde’s parables which Ellmann later cited in his 1987 biography ''Oscar Wilde'') of a chagrined Joseph, husband of Mary, and Jesus Christ’s custodial father:

Joseph was no match for the angel and for Mary’s flattering tears. He felt a wince of disappointment at the idea that she had had a vision too, but then she was his wife, and perhaps the whole family now had the prophetic gift. He would have to try it out, on the harvest. Meanwhile he would seek to forget his jealousy, despite the fact that the story sounded a bit fantastic to a reasonable man, which he guessed he was, and it would be well not to talk about it much outside. It was better to leave things the way they were. Not much of a wedding night, but one could tell white lies about that to one’s friends.〔Yale Banner 1939〕

He would later return to teach at Yale, and there with Charles Feidelson, Jr., he edited the extraordinarily important anthology, ''The Modern Tradition''. He earlier taught at Northwestern, and at the University of Oxford, before serving as Emory University's Robert W. Woodruff Professor from 1980 until his death.
He was Goldsmiths' professor of English literature at Oxford University, 1970–1984, then Professor Emeritus, a fellow at New College, Oxford, 1970-1987, and an Extraordinary Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford from 1984 until his death.
Ellmann used his knowledge of the Irish milieu to bring together four literary luminaries in ''Four Dubliners: Wilde, Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett'' (1987), a collection of essays first delivered at the Library of Congress.
His wife, Mary Ellmann (c. 1921 - 1989), whom he married in 1949, was an essayist. The couple had three children: Stephen (b. 1951), Maud (b. 1954), and Lucy (b. 1956), the first two being academics and the third a novelist and teacher of writing.
Ellmann died of motor neurone disease in Oxford, aged 69.
Many of his collected papers, artifacts, and ephemera were acquired by the University of Tulsa's McFarlin Library, Department of Special Collections and University Archives. Other manuscripts are housed in the Northwestern University's Library special collections department.
