...Barry is a product of what was called the Yale Literary Renaissance, a microscopic affair which began vigorously with Stephen Vincent Benet, John Farrar, Thornton Wilder et al. but was soon washed from the campus in an ocean of afternoon tea. The War took Philip Barry to the U. S. Embassy at London because weak eyes kept him out of military service. The desire to write plays took him back to the 47 Workshop.
