- Double-weighted statement
- This is the first study of the circus in Irish literature and culture; it breaks significant new methodological ground and forges insightful connections between literary and performance texts, cultural forms, and historical contexts. The book addresses a rich and wide variety of primary material yet to be considered carefully by scholars: from archival holdings in international collections, such as the National Fairground Archive (University of Sheffield) and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, to historic and contemporary performances, literary texts across many genres, and original interviews with significant writers such as Banville, Paul Muldoon and Neil Jordan.
