Irish Writing in the Twentieth Century
"Arranged chronologically by decade, from the 1890s to the 1990s, each decade is divided into two different types of writing: critical/documentary and imaginative writing, and is accompanied by a headnote which situates it thematically and chronologically. The Reader is also structured for thematic study by listing all the pieces included under a series of topic headings. The wide range of material encompasses writings of well-known figures in the Irish canon and neglected writers alike. This will appeal to the general reader, but also makes Irish Writing in the Twentieth Century ideal as a core text, providing a unique focus for detailed study in a single volume."--BOOK JACKET.

Upstream Metropolis
"Being a man, like being a woman, is something you have to learn," Aaron Raz Link remarks. Few would know this better than the coauthor of What Becomes You , who began life as a girl named Sarah and twenty-nine years later began life anew as a gay man.
The Playboy of the Western World
J. M. Synge's 'The Playboy of the Western World' is a compelling play set in rural Ireland that explores themes of identity, rebellion, and the power of storytelling. Written in 1907, it caused controversy due to its portrayal of Irish characters questioning traditional values. The dialogue is filled with humor, wit, and poignant moments, making it a classic of Irish literature. Synge's use of regional dialect and vivid descriptions of the landscape create a sense of place that immerses the reader in the world of the play. James Matthew Synge, known for his contributions to the Irish Literary Revival, drew inspiration from his travels throughout Ireland and his interactions with the local people. His keen observations of Irish society and culture inform the rich characterization and authentic dialogue in 'The Playboy of the Western World.' Synge's deep connection to the Irish landscape and its people shines through in this thought-provoking play. I highly recommend 'The Playboy of the Western World' to readers interested in exploring Irish literature, the Irish Literary Revival, or anyone looking for a thought-provoking play that challenges societal norms and traditions.
