Bøker av Bernard Adams

Fierce Love, a scholarly work, is sourced from production notebooks and copious correspondence held in NUI Galway, measuring for the first time the achievements of a controversial and resourceful woman swimming against the tide of populism and sectarianism to establish an independent academy for actors and artists in a tireless quest for imaginative freedom and excellence.

In this masterly biography, Adams draws upon Johnston's copious and intimate diaries, letters and uncompleted autobiography deposited in Trinity College, Dublin, cataloguing the 'untidy museum' of his subject's past.
