Anthony "Tony" J. Jordan is an Irish biographer. He is a native of Ballyhaunis, County Mayo.[1] Jordan is a graduate of NUI Maynooth, University College Dublin, and St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra. He initially specialized in writing 'first' biographies. His early interest centered on the interaction between the figures of Major John MacBride, W. B. Yeats, and Maud Gonne. After discovering the MacBride Papers in the National Library of Ireland, he has made them available through his books in elucidation on MacBride from the criticism by W. B. Yeats and his admirers.[clarification needed]
