Tinker's Wedding, Riders To The Sea And The Shadow Of The Glen

The Tinker's Wedding, Riders to the Sea, and The Shadow of the Glen is a collection of three plays by Irish playwright John M. Synge. The first play, The Tinker's Wedding, tells the story of a young couple who want to get married but face opposition from the bride's father due to the groom's lower social status. The second play, Riders to the Sea, is a tragic tale of a family living on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland, who are struggling to cope with the loss of their loved ones to the sea. The final play, The Shadow of the Glen, is a dark comedy about a woman who fakes her own death in order to escape from an unhappy marriage. Synge's plays are known for their poetic language and vivid depictions of rural Irish life, and this collection is a valuable addition to any reader's understanding of early 20th century Irish literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
