Beyond Irishness-J.M.Synge's Foray into Literary Stardom

Abstract

His escape from the decadent Paris atmosphere into the primitive and lively Ireland on the suggestion of the revered literary figure of the time W.B.Yeats was a watermark in his literary career. The life and nature of the Aran Island provided him with not only the material for his plays, but also the necessary inspiration to produce good work of art. That is why his plays are not mere sketches of the peasant life and natural scenery, but they are also the works of imagination close to a myth and a faerytale.
