Autorenporträt

Edmund John Millington Synge (1871 - 1909) was an Irish poet, playwright, and defining figure of the Irish Literary Revival. Born in County Dublin to upper-middle-class Protestants, Synge suffered from Hodgkin's disease which led to his home-schooling. Soon after graduating from Trinity College Dublin, Synge became a renowned poet and playwright, but his success was short-lived as he passed away from cancer at 37. He is best remembered for his play 'The Playboy of the Western World', an incredibly controversial work at the time of its publication and performance. Regarded by Yeats as 'the greatest dramatic genius of Ireland', Synge has held a lasting legacy, being a key influence for acclaimed Irish playwright Samuel Beckett and the subject of Joseph O'Connor's novel 'Ghost Light' (2010).
