Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Hailed in the Irish Times as a 'great Irish novelist', Neil Jordan is, in the words of Fintan O'Toole, 'a peculiarly emblematic figure of cultural change'. Yet, extraordinarily, such critical acclaim has come about without detailed scholarly engagement with Jordan's most sustained interrogation of Ireland and notions of Irishness: his fiction. Neil Jordan: Works for the Page fills this gap in contemporary Irish literary criticism, and, while Jordan's filmmaking is often discussed, the focus here is on his published work: his early volume of short fiction, his many novels, and several of his uncollected stories. The result is a work which will enhance understanding of contemporary Irish cultural studies while also suggesting future directions for the criticism of other artists operating in multiple creative disciplines. The significance of this book lies in its discussion of what kind of artist Neil Jordan really is, which is not necessarily the kind of artist that Irish Studies currently perceives him to be. He is neither just an Oscar-winning filmmaker nor a European novelist of the first rank, he is both, and the comprehensive introduction to the literary author provided by Neil Jordan: Works for the Page has been carefully structured to appeal to those familiar with only the filmmaker. This engaging study examines how, in a forty-year writing career, Jordan has engaged with and expanded upon many core concerns of Irish literature: the struggle to define oneself against the weight of history, both political and artistic; the quest to understand the nation's violent efforts to transcend and process its colonial past. Neil Jordan: Works for the Page surveys the short stories and novels of one of Ireland's leading creative practitioners, altering the once well-mapped landscape of contemporary Irish fiction by revealing a most remarkable figure.

Neuware - Neil Jordan: Works for the Page surveys the short stories and novels of one of Ireland's leading creative practitioners, altering the once well-mapped landscape of contemporary Irish fiction by revealing a most remarkable figure: a mature novelist who has gone largely overlooked by the academy; a writer with identifiable periods, an established back catalogue, and solid links to the literary establishment.
