This volume presents a definitive collection of three seminal works by J.M. Synge, including his controversial masterpiece, The Playboy of the Western World. Edited by William A. Armstrong, the text offers a scholarly exploration of Synge’s distinct contribution to the Irish Literary Revival, capturing the rhythmic cadence of Hiberno-English and the stark, poetic realism of rural Irish life at the turn of the twentieth century.
