Imagining the other -- Conclusion: a world elsewhere.In this book Nicholas Grene explores political contexts for some of the outstanding Irish plays from the nineteenth century to the contemporary period. The politics of Irish drama have previously been considered primarily the politics of national self-expression. Here it is argued that Irish plays, in their self-conscious representation of the otherness of Ireland, are outwardly directed towards audiences both at home and abroad. The political dynamics of such relations between plays and audiences is the book's multiple subject: the stage interpretation of Ireland from The Shaughraun to Translations; the contentious stage images of Yeats, Gregory and Synge; reactions to revolution from O'Casey to Behan; the post-colonial worlds of Purgatory and All that Fall; the imagined Irelands of Friel and Murphy, McGuinness and Barry. With its fundamental reconception of the politics of Irish drama, this book represents an alternative view of the phenomenon of Irish drama itself.Cambridge studies in modern theatre.English dramaIrish authorsHistory and criticismPolitics and literatureIrelandHistory19th centuryPolitics and literatureIrelandHistory20th centuryPolitical plays, EnglishHistory and criticismTheaterPolitical aspectsIrelandEnglish dramaIrish authorsHistory and criticism.Politics and literatureHistoryPolitics and literatureHistoryPolitical plays, EnglishHistory and criticism.TheaterPolitical aspects822.009/358Grene Nicholas166090MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821984703321The politics of Irish drama2306431UNINA
