Synge, a leading figure of the Irish Literary Revival, was heavily influenced by his travels through the Aran Islands and his interest in the folklore and culture of rural Ireland. His firsthand experiences with the people and landscapes of the West of Ireland inspired much of his work, including 'The Tinker's Wedding'. Synge's commitment to capturing the authentic voices of the Irish people shines through in this play, showcasing his talent for drama and wit.

Autorenporträt
John Millington Synge was an Irish playwright, poet, prose writer, and collector of folklore. He was born on April 16, 1871, in Rathfarnham, near Dublin, Ireland, and passed away on March 24, 1909. Synge is most renowned for his play 'The Playboy of the Western World', which caused riots at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. However, his work is extensive and includes other notable plays such as 'The Tinker's Wedding', which presents a satirical look at the institution of marriage and the church through the comedic mishaps of a group of Irish travellers. Synge's literary career was profoundly influenced by the Aran Islands, where he spent significant time collecting stories and folklore that infused his writing with a mix of lyrical beauty and earthy realism. His literary style is marked by his use of Hiberno-English, a dialect that he felt captured the world he saw with more vitality and truth than standard English. Synge was a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival and along with W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, played a critical role in the founding of the Abbey Theatre. Although his career was short-lived, dying at the age of 37, Synge's impact on Irish literature and his contribution to the national identity of Ireland are immeasurable. His works are celebrated for their poetic expression and the authentic portrayal of the challenges and triumphs of Irish rural life (Greene & Stephens, 1959).
