This major new book of essays edited by three University of Limerick lecturers attempts to explain the many complexities of iconic singer Morrissey.

Power examines in detail the work of one of the most influential songwriters of our time. Morrissey has remained an anti-establishment and outspoken figure who has fought to bring controversial social issues to the forefront of our minds. Morrissey has used his music and his fame as vehicles for social change, singing and speaking out on a variety of issues: including class discrimination, ethnicity, sexuality, vegetarianism and animal rights, delivering his message in velvet sound-bytes and provocative performances.The book's chapters examine a diverse number of themes ranging from Morrissey's representation of working-class life; his own fan devotion concerning James Dean to painstaking analyses of songs such as 'Speedway' and 'You Have Killed Me'.
A must for all Manchester music lovers.
