Annotation

Stewart Parker ranks among Ireland's most innovative dramatists and yet as the twentieth anniversary of his death approaches, critical engagement with his work has still much ground to cover. With the exception of The Actress and the Bishop (1976) and Kingdom Come (1977), Stewart Parker's theatre plays have remained in print with Methuen. This is the only material that is currently widely available to scholars, students and readers. However, Parker's work extends well beyond this known core including numerous journalistic writings, literary criticism, radio and television plays. In honour of the twentieth anniversary of Stewart Parker's death, Litteraria Pragensia Books is proud to announce the publication of a two volume set of Parker's TV plays and journalistic writings with critical introductions. Both volumes provide unique and long overdue perspectives on Parker's work in an accessible format aimed to extend critical acknowledgement of Parker's status as one of the most versatile and engaging writers to emerge in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s.
