John Millington Synge, controversial in his own time and long
established as a major figure of world theatre, has nonetheless
suffered relative critical neglect. Where his great contemporaries
Yeats and Joyce and his outstanding successor Beckett have
attracted whole industries of scholarly attention, Synge, by reason
of his short life and limited output, has been relegated to the
unconsidered category of minor classic. This volume of essays,
arising from lectures given at the Synge Summer School by some of
the most distinguished writers and scholars of Irish literature,
sets about the necessary task of interpreting Synge: his relation
to cultural and theatrical contexts; the significance of his plays;
the distinctive quality of his language and the thematic matrices
of his work. Four original poems, specially commissioned for the
book, provide an imaginative counterpoint to the critical
interpretation of the essays.
