This book considers the cultural residue from§pre-Christian Ireland in Synge's plays and performances. By dramatising a residual§culture in front of a predominantly modern and political Irish Catholic middle§class audience, the book argues that Synge attempted to offer an alternative§understanding of what it meant to be "modern" at the beginning of the twentieth§century. The book draws extensively on Synge's archive to demonstrate how§pre-Christian residual culture informed not just how he wrote and staged§pre-Christian beliefs, but also how he thought about an older, almost forgotten§culture that Catholic Ireland desperately wanted to forget. Each of Synge's plays§is considered in an individual chapter, and they identify how Synge's dramaturgy§was informed by pre-Christian beliefs of animism, pantheism, folklore, superstition§and magical ritual.
