Frances Stoart

Sinopse

"Francis Stuart: face to face is the first complete critical study of the work of one of Ireland's foremost twentieth-century writers who has tended to be analysed more in relation to his controversial life than for his work. The book depicts him as a writer, sensitive to the way in which the creative spirit moves, and committed to his craft. By focusing on Stuart's writing, its underlying philosophy and its provocative approach, much is revealed about the man and his beliefs which provides answers to his critics." "This study responds to Stuart's own contention that his work requires a different form of criticism, one that mirrors his method of delving below the surface and coming face-to-face with himself in the most profound way possible."--Jacket.
