Edmund John Millington Synge (16 April 1871 - 24 March 1909) was an Irish playwright, poet, writer, collector of folklore, and a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival. His best known play The Playboy of the Western World was poorly received, due to its bleak ending, depiction of Irish peasants, and idealisation of parricide, leading to hostile audience reactions and riots in Dublin during its opening run at Abbey Theatre, Dublin, which he had co-founded with W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory. His other major works include "In the Shadow of the Glen" (1903), "Riders to the Sea" (1904), "The Well of the Saints" (1905), and "The Tinker's Wedding" (1909).…mehr

Autorenporträt
John Millington Synge (1871–1909) was a seminal Irish playwright, poet, and prose writer, a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival of the early 20th century, and one of the co-founders of the Abbey Theatre. Synge's output, although limited due to his untimely death at the age of 37 from Hodgkin's disease, was deeply influential in both its thematic exploration of Irish life and its innovative use of language and dialect. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and later at the Sorbonne in Paris, Synge was influenced by the French symbolist movement, but his greatest inspiration came from the very heart of Irish culture: the land and its people. His seminal work, 'The Aran Islands' (1907), is a richly woven series of essays and sketches that provide an insightful ethnographic account of life on the islands off the west coast of Ireland at the turn of the century. This work not only celebrates the resilience and storytelling traditions of the islanders but also laid the foundation for his later dramatic works. Synge's plays, most notably 'Riders to the Sea' (1904), 'The Well of the Saints' (1905), and 'The Playboy of the Western World' (1907), resonated with a lyrical dialect reflecting the vernacular of the Irish peasantry, a choice that stirred both controversy and admiration. Above all, Synge's work is celebrated for its rich depictions of rural Ireland, its compassionate yet unflinching examination of its subjects, and its pivotal role in the shaping of Irish identity in literature.
