This book offers the first comprehensive discussion of the
relationship between Modern Irish Literature and the Irish cinema,
with twelve chapters written by experts in the field that deal with
principal films, authors, and directors. This survey outlines the
influence of screen adaptation of important texts from the national
literature on the construction of an Irish cinema, many of whose
films because of cultural constraints were produced and exhibited
outside the country until very recently. Authors discussed include
George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Liam O'Flaherty, Christy Brown,
Edna O'Brien, James Joyce, and Brian Friel. The films analysed in
this volume include THE QUIET MAN, THE INFORMER, MAJOR BARBARA, THE
GIRL WITH GREEN EYES, MY LEFT FOOT, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, THE
SNAPPER, and DANCING AT LUGHNASA. The introduction features a
detailed discussion of the cultural and political questions raised
by the promotion of forms of national identity by Ireland's
literary and cinematic establishments.
