Then he met with W.B. Yeats, who told him to go to the Aran Islands to seek inspiration. Once he followed this advice, Synge started immediately writing some of the finest drama ever written about the traditional people of Ireland, Riders to the Sea and The Well of the Saints. The decision to go to these remote islands off the western coast of Ireland was not an easy one. Synge came from a long line of Irish Protestants who had been landlords for many years in the west country. His family made their great wealth by managing their diverse parcels of land, which included dispossessing many of their less productive tenants. This caused great rancor and was one of the underlying causes of the Easter Rebellion. For Synge, a known landlord's son, to even appear in the west country was a provocation to violence. Nonetheless, he went.

His father was a barrister-at-law, and had some landed property in Galway. His mother was a fundamentalist Protestant, whose father, Rev. Robert Traill, had been rector of Schull, Co. Cork during the famine years, 1845-9. John was the youngest of a family of seven. As a child he was sickly and solitary, and, not being given to group pursuits, his younger years were spent wandering the hills of Dublin and Wicklow. "Synge's only recreation was walking, and it was to remain the one great activity of his life" (Greene, 'J. M. Synge 1871-1909')

Critical notes on John Millington Synge and "Playboy of the Western World" "The Playboy of the Western World" was produced for the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Irelanda theater founded by W. B. Yeats and others to foster a new generation of Irish drama (see the chapter by Seamus Deane for further discussion). The aim of the Abbey group was to promote drama that spoke positively for the Irish peoplepositively and compellingly to them and for them in conjunction with their quest for independent statehood. The following passages by various critics and writers should help you understand the context of the play. From W. B. Yeats, "J. M. Synge and the Ireland of His Time," Essays and Introductions (New York: Collier Books, 1968) "A patriotic journalism which had seen in Synge's capricious imagination the enemy of all it would have young men believe, had for years prepared for this hour . . . . The preparation had begun after the first performance of `The Shadow of the Glen,' Synge's first play, with [his] assertion that he had taken his fable and his characters, not from his own mind . . . but `from a writer of the Roman decadence.' . . . the frenzy that would have silenced his master-work was, like most violent things, artificial, that defence of virtue by those who have but little . . . "As I stood there watching, knowing well that I saw the dissolution of a school of patriotism that held sway over my youth, Synge came and stood beside me, and said, `A young doctor has just told me that he can hardly keep himself from jumping on to a seat, and pointing out in that howling mob those whom he is treating for venereal disease.'

THE IRISH POETRY PAGE: POETS BOLAND, EAVAN The Oral Tradition I was standing there at the end of a reading or a workshop or whatever, watching people heading out into the wheather, only half-wondering what becomes of words, the brisk herbs of language, the fragrances we think we sing, if anything. We were left behind in a firelit room in which the colour scheme crouched well down - golds, a sort of dun a distressed ochre - and the sole richness was in the suggestion of a texture like the low flax gleam that comes off polished leather. Two women were standing in shadow, one with her back turned. Their talk was a gesture, an outstreched hand. They talked to each other and words like 'summer' 'birth' 'great-grandmother' kept pleading with me, urging me to follow. 'She could feel it coming' - one of them was saying - 'all the way there, across the fields at evening and no one there, God help her 'and she had on a skirt of cross-woven linen and the little one kept pulling at it.

51. P1 PROGRAM synge, john Millington Aranöarna. Påannons Det var svårt för john Millingtonsynge att bli accepterade som dramatiker åtminstone hemma på Irland. http://www.sr.se/p1/kulturnytt/recensioner/synge.htm

Vi ber er observera att detta är ett radiomanus. Det kan skilja sig från den version som har gått ut i etern. Synge, John Millington: Aranöarna. Övers.: Kaj Attorps Rec: Bengt Packalén. Sänt 25.8.97 Påannons: Det var svårt för John Millington Synge att bli accepterade som dramatiker - åtminstone hemma på Irland. Pjäser som ²Hjälten från den gröna ön² och ²Rytten till havet² hör idag självklart till den irländska nationaldramatiken. Men samtidens keltiska nationalister fann dem plumpa och förnedrande. Och reseboken ²The Aran Islands² som låg klar 1901 lyckades Synge få utgiven först sex år senare. I dag anses den vara en klassiker inom reselitteraturen. Vilket inte hindrar att det dröjde hela nio decennier innan vi fick en svensk översättning, på lilla Proprius förlag... Kulturredaktionens ö-älskare Bengt Packalén har haft Kaj Attorps version av ²Aranöarna² som sommarläsning: Aranöarna ligger utanför Irlands västkust, i Galwaybukten. De har varit otillgängliga, utsatta för svåra stormar, isolerade under långa tider. Befolkningen bevarade därför sina gamla sedvänjor och sitt språk längre där än någon annanstans på Irland. John Millington Synge vistades på öarna i flera repriser i slutet av förra seklet, han lärde sig gaeliska, tecknade upp folksägner och -dikter, beskrev vardagslivet. Flera av de historier han återger i boken och flera av de människor han lär känna på öarna möter vi i hans skådespel. När nationalisterna i Dublin i tiden upprördes över att Synge gjorde sina gestalter alltför frispråkiga, alltför jordnära, alltför vidskepliga, alltför opolerade speglade det bara deras eget tidstypiskt önsketänkande. Synge, som kom från en angloirländsk övre medelklass-familj, kände helt enkelt det så kallade folket bättre än de som sade sig tala i folkets sak.

As a young man he studied music in Germany and later lived in Paris, where he wrote literary criticism. In Paris he met William Butler Yeats , who persuaded Synge to live in the Aran Islands before returning to Dublin. All of Synge's plays reflect his experiences in the Aran Islands. His first plays, In the Shadow of the Glen (1903), a comedy, and Riders to the Sea (1904), a tragi-comedy, were presented by the Irish National Theatre Society. In 1904 the Society, with Synge, Yeats , and Lady Gregory as co-directors, founded The Abbey Theatre. Two of Synge's comedies, The Well of the Saints (1905) and The Playboy of the Western World (1907), were presented by the Abbey Theatre. The latter caused a riot amongst Irish nationalists enraged by Synge's send-up of heroic ideals and nationalism. His later works were The Tinker's Wedding, published in 1908 but not produced, and Deirdre of the Sorrows, a tragedy unfinished at the time of his death but presented by the Abbey in 1910. The principal actress in all his plays was Maire O'Neill, who became engaged to Synge shortly before his death. Synge was also a significant poet, for which see Volume 1 (ed. Robin Skelton 1962) of J. M. Synge: Collected Works (Oxford University Press, 1962-8). He died in 1909.
