| Description: |
This volume explores inter-artistic connections in Irish literature, drama, film and the visual arts. It looks at how writers such as Seamus Heaney, John Banville and W.B. Yeats have responded to the visual arts, as well as discussing Brian Friel's drama, James Barry's Shakespeare paintings and contemporary Irish film and visual arts. |
| Synopsis: |
The essays in this volume explore interartistic connections in Irish literature, drama, film and the visual arts. Within modern and postmodern culture, innovation is often driven by surprising interrelations between the arts, and this book offers a discussion of this phenomenon and analyses a number of artworks that move across disciplines. Several contributors examine the concept of ekphrasis, looking at how Irish writers such as Seamus Heaney, John Banville, Paul Muldoon, Ciaran Carson, Patrick Kavanagh, W.B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett have responded to the visual arts. Others explore interartistic `crossings' in the drama of Brian Friel, in James Barry's eighteenth-century Shakespeare paintings and in contemporary Irish film. Together, the essays present a fresh perspective on Irish artistic culture and open up new avenues for future study. |
