Praise for this book

"An erudite, thought-provoking and startling fresh academic study which situates Marina Carr's plays in relation to the patriarchal lineage of Irish modern drama. ... Overall this book offers valuable critical study on Carr and - accurately - locates her within the female genealogy of modern Irish drama." (Mia Colleran, The Irish Times, August 24, 2019)
"Marina Carr: Pastures of the Unknown is a well-argued and thought-provoking addition to the small but growing corpus of critical studies on the theatre of Marina Carr." (Adrienne Leavy, Reading Ireland, Issue 10, 2019)
