Scholarship abounds on Shaw’s politics, but Nelson Ritschel’s compelling study is the first to explore how Shaw’s presence in Irish radical debate manifested itself not only through his direct contributions but also through the way he and his efforts were engaged by others--most notably by the socially liberal dramatist J. M. Synge and the socialist agitator James Connolly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Looking closely at such works as \u003cem\u003eIn the Shadow of the Glen, John Bull’s Other Island, Playboy of the Western World\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eO’Flaherty, V.C. \u003c\/em\u003e, Ritschel opens an important door on the hidden dialogue between these men. The result is a gripping, even suspenseful, narrative of the intellectual march to the Easter Uprising of 1916.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559252488472,"sku":"9780813044408","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/shaw-synge-connolly-and-socialist-provocation-paperback-softback-9780813044408","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
