Cover of Snodgrass Mary Ellen Snodgrass: Brian Friel (ePUB)

Surveying the life, work and accolades of Irish playwright Brian Friel, this literary companion investigates his personal and professional relationships and his literary topics and themes, such as belonging, violence, patriarchy and hypocrisy. Character summaries describe his most significant figures, particularly St. Columba, the victims of Derry’s Bloody Sunday, and Hugh O’Neill, the Lord of Tyrone. Entries analyze Friel’s style in detail, from his column in the Irish Times and his short fiction in the New Yorker to his most recent plays, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, Translations, and Dancing at Lughnasa.
