Publisher Marketing: This collection of criticism is on four of the most-studied plays of J. M. Synge. Along with W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory he created the Irish literary movement and the Abbey theatre. The playwright is acknowledged to be in the forefront of modernist literature. Major critics include William Empson to Hugh Kenner and writers from George Moore to Frank O'Connor.
