Son of the last resident commissioner of education under British rule in Ireland, Walter Starkie was launched into a life of firsts. However, a reputation, principally based on his popular travel fiction, has dogged memory of the man, other aspects of his career being neglected or ignored. This biography reassesses the rhapsodic roving and rag-tag roguery while situating the lifespan within specific historical and political contexts.
