'Tinkers': Synge and the Cultural History of the Irish Traveller
Burke, Mary (Dept of English, University of Connecticut)
Irish playwright J M Synge created influential but misunderstood representations of Travellers - or 'tinkers' - a minority that has existed on Ireland's margins for centuries. The first cultural history of the Traveller traces the figure from medieval Irish historiography and English Renaissance literature to contemporary screen depictions.
