{"value"=>"<p>James Benedict Ossory Fitzpatrick was born in Cumberland, England, in 1881, and died in New York City in 1964. He was educated at Ushaw College, England, and at the Universities of Durham, London, and Bonn, and spent his youth traveling on the continent where he learned the principal languages of Europe. After his return to England he worked as a foreign editor of the <em render=\"underline\">London Daily Mail</em> and wrote for the <em render=\"underline\">Illustrated London News</em> and other journals. It appears that at this time he developed strong pro-Irish and anti-British views which led to the publication in the 1920s of two histories of Ireland to which he ascribed great importance, <em render=\"underline\">Ireland and the Making of England</em> and, <em render=\"underline\">Ireland and the Foundations of Europe</em>, both of which dealt with the theme of Irish involvement and influence in the early middle ages. In 1931 he had two books published, a controversial biography, <em render=\"underline\">Frail Anne Boleyn</em> and a study of Jesuit missionaries in French Canada, <em render=\"underline\">Donjon of Demons</em>. He also wrote numerous articles, book reviews, short stories, and plays.</p> <p>The papers reflect Fitzpatrick's work as author, historian, and biographer; but little material relates to his years as editor, teacher, and free-lance journalist. The correspondence covers the period 1912-1963. The bulk is for the years 1920-1943, 1956-1963 and is with publishers concerning the publication of his books, and later the possible republication of his Irish histories and the biography of Anne Boleyn. The papers include typescripts of <em render=\"underline\">Frail Anne Boleyn</em>, <em render=\"underline\">Donjon of Demons</em>, a memoir, A <em render=\"underline\">Literatus in Wonderland</em> and other writings. There are also literary journals written during the 1930s, notes for articles, a diary kept in Germany and Spain in late 1901, photographs of Fitzpatrick, his wife, relatives, and friends, printed reviews of his books, promotional material, and correspondence and papers relating to the estate of Cecilia Harrigan.</p>"}
