Editing Lord Dunsany (section)

==Curator and studies==
In the late 1990s, a curator, J. W. (Joe) Doyle, was appointed by the estate to work at Dunsany Castle, in part to locate and organise the author's manuscripts, typescripts and other materials. Doyle found several works known to exist but thought to be "lost": the plays ''[[The Ginger Cat and Other Lost Plays|The Ginger Cat]]'' and "The Murderers," some [[Jorkens]] stories, and the novel ''[[The Pleasures of a Futuroscope]]'' (later published by [[Hippocampus Press]]). He also found hitherto unknown works, including ''[[The Last Book of Jorkens]]'', to the first edition of which he wrote an introduction, and an unnamed 1956 short story collection, eventually published as part of ''The Ghost in the Corner and other stories'' in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dunsany.net/18th_Works.htm |title=Lord Dunsany – works |website=Dunsany family official site |access-date=20 February 2018 |archive-date=30 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181130122149/http://www.dunsany.net/18th_Works.htm }}</ref> Doyle was still working as curator in 2020. Some uncollected works, previously published in magazines, and some unpublished works, have been selected in consultation with them, and published in chapbooks by a US small press.<ref name="Pegana_Press">{{Cite web |title=Lord Dunsany (limited edition works) |url=https://peganapress.com/lord-dunsany |website=Pegana Press |access-date=12 July 2020}}</ref>

Fans and scholars [[S. T. Joshi]] and [[Darrell Schweitzer]] worked on the Dunsany œuvre for over twenty years, gathering stories, essays and reference material, for a joint initial bibliography and separate scholarly studies of Dunsany's work. An updated edition of their bibliography appeared in 2013.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Joshi |first=Sunand T. |title=Lord Dunsany: a comprehensive bibliography |last2=Schweitzer |first2=Darrell |date=2013 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0-8108-9313-9 |edition=2nd |series=Studies in supernatural literature |location=Lanham, Md.}}</ref> Joshi edited ''The Collected Jorkens'' and ''The Ginger Cat and other lost plays'' and co-edited ''The Ghost in the Corner and other stories''<ref name=Ghost_coll/> using materials unearthed by the Dunsany curator.

In the late 2000s a PhD researcher, Tania Scott from the [[University of Glasgow]], worked on Dunsany for some time and spoke at literary and other conventions; her thesis was published in 2011, entitled ''Locating Ireland in the fantastic fiction of Lord Dunsany''.<ref name="Scott_thesis_2011">{{Cite book |last1=Scott |first1=Tania |title=Locating Ireland in the fantastic fiction of Lord Dunsany |date=2011 |publisher=Glasgow University |location=Glasgow, Scotland |url=http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2630/ |access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref> A Swedish fan, Martin Andersson, was also active in research and publication in the mid-2010s.<ref name=Ghost_coll>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hippocampuspress.com/mythos-and-other-authors/fiction/the-ghost-in-the-corner-and-other-stories-by-lord-dunsany |title=The Ghost in the Corner and Other Stories by Lord Dunsany |date=25 February 2017 |publisher=Hippocampus Press |access-date=12 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.contemporaryrhyme.com/3_1_contributors.html |title=Vol. 3 No. 1 Winter 2006 – Contributors |year=2006 |publisher=contemporaryrhyme.com |access-date=12 April 2018}}</ref>

===Documentary===
An hour-long documentary, ''Shooting for the Butler'', was released by Auteur TV and Justified Films in 2014, directed by Digby Rumsey. With footage from Dunsany and Shoreham, it included interviews with the author's great-grandson, the estate's curator, author [[Liz Williams]], scholar S. T. Joshi, a local who knew the writer personally, and the head of the Irish Chess Union, among others.<ref name="Docu_rvw_2014">{{Cite journal |last1=Andersson |first1=Martin |editor1-last=Showers |editor1-first=Brian |title=Review: Shooting for the Butler |journal=The Green Book: Writings on Irish Gothic, Supernatural and Fantastic Literature |date=1 May 2015 |volume=5 |pages=70–73 |publisher=Swan River Press |location=Dublin, Ireland}}</ref>
