CARYSFORT PRESS LTD SYNGE AND HIS INFLUENCES ...

The year 2009 was the centenary of the death of John Millington Synge  one of the world's great
dramatists. To mark the occasion  this book gathers essays by leading scholars of Irish drama 
aiming to explore the writers and movements that shaped Synge  and to consider his enduring
legacies. Essays discuss Synge's work in its Irish  European and world contexts - showing his
engagement not just with the Irish literary revival but with European politics and culture too.
The book also explores Synge's influence on later writers: Irish dramatists such as Brian Friel
Tom Murphy and Marina Carr  as well as international writers like Mustapha Matura and Erisa
Kironde. It also considers Synge's place in Ireland today  revealing how The Playboy of the
Western World has helped to shape Ireland's responses to globalisation and multiculturalism  in
celebrated productions by the Abbey Theatre  Druid theatre  and Pan Pan theatre company.
