Excerpt from The Valley of the Squinting WindowsIt appears rather accidental, but perhaps on the whole to its benefit, that the dramatic form should have been adopted by J. M. Synge and not the epical form of the novel. Synge fell with a lash of surprise upon the Ire land of his time, for the Irish play had been as fully degraded as the Irish novel. Furthermore the shock of his genius created an opportunity which made possible the realistic Irish novelist. At the Abbey Theater they performed plays dealing with subjects which no Irish novelist, thinking of a public, would have dreamt of handling. Somehow their plays have come to be known and accepted throughout Ireland. Thus a reading pub lic for this realistic Irish novel has been slowly created and the urge to write like this has come to many story tellers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
