A team of international experts from Ireland, the UK, the USA and Europe provide individual studies of internationally known playwrights of the period of the Literary Revival - Yeats, Synge, Lady Gregory, Shaw, Wilde, O'Casey - and contemporary playwrights Brian Friel, Tom Murphy, Frank McGuiness and Sebastian Barry, in addition to emerging playwrights such as Martin McDonagh and Marina Carr. Further to studies of individual playwrights the collection also includes examination of the relationship between the theatre and its political context as this is inflected through its ideology, staging and programming. With a full chronology and bibliography, this collection is an indispensable introduction to one of the world's most vibrant theatre cultures. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aIreland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a822/.91099417 702 $aRichards$b Shaun 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205073003316 996 $aCambridge Companion to twentieth-century Irish drama$91239220 997 $aUNISA
