FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This first book-length critical study of Jeremy Irons concentrates on his key performances and acting style. Through the analysis of some of the major screen roles in Ironss career, such as Brideshead Revisited, The French Lieutenants Woman, Reversal of Fortune, Swann in Love, Dead Ringers and Lolita, Mark Nicholls identifies a new masculine identity that unites them: an emblematic figure of the 1980s and 1990s presented as an alternative to the action hero or the common man.
