John Millington Synge was a leading literary figure of the Irish
Revival who played a significant role in the founding of Dublin's
Abbey Theatre in 1904. This Companion offers a comprehensive
introduction to the whole range of Synge's work from well-known
plays like Riders to the Sea, The Well of the Saints and The
Playboy of the Western World, to his influential prose work The
Aran Islands. The essays provide detailed and insightful analyses
of individual texts, as well as perceptive reflections on his
engagements with the Irish language, processes of decolonisation,
gender, modernism and European culture. Critical accounts of
landmark productions in Ireland and America are also included. With
a guide to further reading and a chronology, this book will
introduce students of drama, postcolonial studies, and Irish
studies as well as theatregoers to one of the most influential and
controversial dramatists of the twentieth century.
