A Centenary Tribute to J.M. Synge

The essays in this book (first published in 1972) demonstrate the universal appeal of J. M. Synge's writings and his influence in the world. Collected and published in commemoration of the centenary of his birth, the volume originates from the oldest 'modern' university in the Arab world, and the contributions come from many countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Jordan, Syria and the United States. The collection consists of essays dealing with specific works (drama, poetry and prose) as well as with general studies of Synge as man and artist. The book brings together in one volume some of the different kinds of work being carried out in the field of Synge studies. It has not only proved of value to scholars, but is also a most useful reference work for students at schools and universities. It is edited by Suheil Badi Bushrui,
