Book Synopsis Synge and Irish Nationalism by : Nelson Ritschel
Download or read book Synge and Irish Nationalism written by Nelson Ritschel and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his The Playboy of the Western World debuted on the Irish stage in 1907, author John Millington Synge was accused by the press of being anti-nationalistic. In this study, theater historian Ritschel (humanities, Massachusetts Maritime Academy) critically examines Synge's dramatic canon. He concludes that Synge, rather than being anti-nationalistic, was a misunderstood writer who attempted to provoke the explosive emergence of a modern Ireland.

Book Synopsis Irish Identity and the Literary Revival by : George Watson
Download or read book Irish Identity and the Literary Revival written by George Watson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1979, Irish Identity and the Literary Revival, through the works of W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, J. M. Synge, and Sean O’Casey, documents the complex spectrum of political, social and other pressures that helped fashion modern Ireland. At least three sets of cultural assumptions coexisted in Ireland during the years between 1890 and 1930, -- English, Irish and Anglo-Irish, each united by a common language but divided by considerable tensions and strain. The question of Irish identity forms the central theme of the study, and illustrates how it was a major, even obsessive concern for these writers. Subsidiary and interwoven themes constantly recur. Themes such as the concepts of the peasant and the hero, political nationalism, the meaning of Ireland’s history and the validity of her cultural traditions. Rather than use the literature concerned as merely endorsing evidence for a sociological or political thesis, this study allows its major themes and issues to emerge and develop from direct and close study of the work of the writers. This book will be of interest to students of literature and history.

This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,85, Technical University of Braunschweig (Englisches Seminar/Abteilung für Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften der Terchnischen Universität Braunschweig), language: English, abstract: “There is no great literature without nationality, no great nationality without literature” (John O’Leary) Although the high age of imperialism is thought to have started in the late 1870s, this does not hold true for English-speaking areas. Ireland, having been colonised by the English well over seven hundred years before, is an exception as England's oldest colony. In the course of time, all native features of the Irish, above all their Celtic history, had to give way to the colonisers' equivalents. It was not until the nineteenth century that the Irish developed a new national consciousness. It eventually enabled them to lay claim to their native history, religion and language as well as their national identity embodied in all of these aspects. In this respect, the Irish Literary Revival is particularly decisive since its writers dedicated themselves to a new way of dramatic expression. This thesis focuses on the three key writers of the literary movement William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), John Millington Synge (1871-1909) and Sean O’Casey (1880-1964). While concentrating on a revival of the Irish past, each spreading their own version of Irishness throughout the theatres, they helped Irish literature to become Irish, to become national again.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Manliness in Irish National Culture, 1880-1922 by : Joseph Valente
Download or read book The Myth of Manliness in Irish National Culture, 1880-1922 written by Joseph Valente and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to supply the first contextually precise account of the male gender anxieties and ambivalences haunting the culture of Irish nationalism in the period between the Act of Union and the founding of the Irish Free State. To this end, Joseph Valente focuses upon the Victorian ethos of manliness or manhood, the specific moral and political logic of which proved crucial to both the translation of British rule into British hegemony and the expression of Irish rebellion as Irish psychomachia. The influential operation of this ideological construct is traced through a wide variety of contexts, including the career of Ireland's dominant Parliamentary leader, Charles Stewart Parnell; the institutions of Irish Revivalism--cultural, educational, journalistic, and literary; the writings of both canonical authors (Yeats, Synge, Gregory, and Joyce) and subcanonical authors (James Stephens, Patrick Pearse, Lennox Robinson); and major political movements of the time, including suffragism, Sinn Fein, Na Fianna E Éireann, and the Volunteers. The construct of manliness remains very much alive today, underpinning the neo-imperialist marriage of ruthless aggression and the sanctities of duty, honor, and sacrifice. Mapping its earlier colonial and postcolonial formations can help us to understand its continuing geopolitical appeal and danger.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Identity in Irish Drama by : George Cusack
Download or read book The Politics of Identity in Irish Drama written by George Cusack and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-26 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the early dramatic works of Yeats, Synge, and Gregory in the context of late colonial Ireland’s unique socio-political landscape. By contextualizing each author’s work within the artistic and political discourses of their time, Cusack demonstrates the complex negotiation of nationalism, class, and gender identities undertaken by these three authors in the years leading up to Ireland’s revolution against England. Furthermore, by focusing on plays written by each author in the context of the ongoing debates over Irish national identity that were taking place throughout Irish public life in this period, Cusack examines in more depth than previous studies the ways Yeats, Gregory, and Synge adapted conventional dramatic and linguistic forms to accommodate the conflicting claims of Irish nationalism. In so doing, he demonstrates the contribution these authors made not only to the development of Irish nationalism but also to modern and postcolonial literature as we understand them today.
Book Synopsis The Playboy of the Western World by : John Millington Synge
Download or read book The Playboy of the Western World written by John Millington Synge and published by . This book was released on 1907 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comedy in three acts by J.M. Synge, published and produced in 1907. It is a masterpiece of the Irish Literary Renaissance. This most famous of Synge's works fused the patois of ordinary Irish villagers with Synge's sophisticated rhetoric and enraged Irish playgoers with its satire of Irish braggadocio. The play follows the mercurial rise and fall of the character Christy Mahon, whose self-reported murder of his father earns him much admiration until his father shows up alive and in pursuit of his cowardly son. --The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature.
