John Millington Synge

-
Standard Name: Synge, John Millington
Indexed Name: J. M. Synge
JMS began publishing early in the twentieth century under the influence of the Irish revival. During his short life he wrote several plays that have remained in the repertoire, while his study of the Aran Islands (a blend of travel writing, folklore, and cultural antholopology) has been equally durable and influential.
