Since 1965, when Philadelphia, Here I Come! played on Broadway for an extended run, Brian Friel's work has been widely known in the United States as well as in Europe. For the Faber Critical Guide on Brian Friel, Nesta Jones examines both Philadelphia and Lughnasa, as well as two other Friel masterworks, Making History and Translations, and seeks not only to elucidate for both students and fans Friel's poetic language of theater but to place his work in the larger context of modern drama. (This title is part of the Faber Critical Guides series.)

For well over thirty years, Tom Stoppard has consistently held his position as one of England's most admired dramatists. And for this edition of Faber Critical Guides, Jim Hunter examines four of Stoppard's finest works in the context of his entire oeuvre. Hunter writes, "Stoppard's plays present a unique interplay between fun today and the most basic and serious challenges to human understanding. He writes jokes and comic routines; but at the same time he is also writing about moral responsibility, about goodness, and about our scientific, mathematical, or philosophical understanding of reality.

Biographies & Memoirs

In a world where everything seems tame and familiar, islands promise wildness and difference. Tory Island, the most remote and exposed of all the inhabited Irish islands, is no exception to this rule. The great seas ranging in from the Atlantic and the strong currents sweeping along its southern coast have isolated the island thus helping in the retention of a way of life that has long since disappeared on the mainland and the survival of Irish as the spoken language. The Waves of Tory tells the story of this small community in terms of their attachment to the land, their reverence for and awe of the sea, and their well-preserved egalitarian society, where dancers, musicians, storytellers and painters take pride of place. The text, in English and Irish, is interlaced with legends, and illustrated with accounts of island customs and beliefs. The Tory islanders are a people whose roots go back to prehistoric times; typical is the King of Tory, Patsy Dan Rodgers, whose office is pre-Christian in origin. Links with the past are everywhere in evidence from the Iron Age fort, home to Balor of the Evil Eye, to the impressive remains of the early Celtic Church of St Colmcille. Superimposed on this pattern are the clustered settlements and vast open fields of the ancient Rundale farming system and the piers, boat rests, and kelp-pits, the products of man's more recent activities on the sea and the shore. These survivals from the past strike deep resonances with those in search of the "real" Ireland. The Waves of Tory comes at a time when Ireland's Atlantic heritage is under threat as it has never been before. Important changes have taken place on Tory in recent times, which have threatened the very existence of the island community; the demise of farming and the cessation of fishing have encouraged persistent rumours of evacuation. It would be a tragedy if this little island, were to be evacuated like many other Atlantic communities during the twentieth century.
