Neil Jordan s depiction of the revolutionary, Lord Edward Fitzgerald and his faithful manservant, Tony Small, is an enthralling and stirring chronicle set against the backdrop of tumultuous late 18th century events, incorporating the American War of Independence and 1798 Irish Rebellion, among others.
It is an expertly spun ballad defined by themes of belonging, illusion and, fundamentally, fidelity. So, my dear Tony, we both got it wrong. But at least we both laboured under the same illusion…The illusion of belonging. And you are still a mongrel. Like me.
The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small is a curious, albeit distinct retelling of a salient period of Irish history told through the fictional account of Tony Small, a runaway Carolina slave who had rescued Lord Edward Fitzgerald following the Battle of Eutaw Springs in 1781.

We re delighted to present an extract from
The Ballad of Lord Edward & Citizen Small, the new novel by writer and filmmaker Neil Jordan, published by The Lilliput Press.
Blending the drama of real events with Jordan s inimitable storytelling ability, this work spotlights a long-forgotten chapter in Ireland’s history. The tale is related by Lord Edward Fitzgerald’s manservant Tony Small, a runaway slave who rescued Lord Edward after the Battle of Eutaw Springs during the American War of Independence. While the details of Lord Edward’s life are well-documented, very little is known of Tony Small, who, in this gripping narrative, examines the ironies of empire, captivity and freedom. Small, who knows too well the consequences of rebellion and resistance, reflects on Lord Edward’s journey from being a loyal servant of the British Empire to becoming a 1798 rebellion leader.
