- This monograph (pp.225), the first book-length study of Farquhar for forty years, presents a new account of this key dramatist’s life and work as the product of (a) tensions within Anglo-Irishness and (b) the experience of migration, with reference to the early Irish diaspora. It examines the full range of Farquhar’s disparate output of plays, essays, letters, travel and autobiographical writing, as well as their critical and performance history. Following extensive archival research, the book yields new insights into Farquhar’s family and closest associates, so overturning some long accepted beliefs, while its innovative narrative style challenges conventions of literary biography.
