John Millington Synge, author of 'The Playboy of the Western World' which received these glowing reviews:
" THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL (1907): ‘unmitigated, protracted libel upon Irish peasant man, and worse still upon Irish peasant girlhood’, continuing: ‘The blood boils with indignation as one recalls the incidents, expressions, ideas of this squalid, offensive productin, incongruously styled a comedy in three acts [...] no adequate idea can be given of the barbarous jargon, the elaborate and incessant cursings of these repulsive creatures.’ (Quoted in David H. Greene and Edward M. Stephens, J. M. Synge 1871-1909, NY: Macmillan 1959, p.239; 1961 [London Edn.] p.242.) THE IRISH TIMES (q.d. 1907): [A]lthough parts of it are, or are meant to be, extravagant comedy, still agreat deal that is in it and a great deal more that is behind it is perectly serious when locked at in a certain light [...] There are, it may be hinted, several sides to The Playboy.’ (Quoted in Stanley Sultan, ‘A Joycean Look at The Playboy of the Western World’, in Maurice Harmon, ed., The Celtic Master, Dolmen Press 1969, p.48.) SUNDAY PRESS (Letter of 1969): ‘When are [we] going to stop disgracing Ireland before the world by showing her up on such philistine light. I am thinking just at present of The Playboy of the Western World, with its murderers, semi-drunken kitchen-inhabiting cursing crowd of uneducated peasants, a cinema showing of which I witnessed last week.’ (Letter to Sunday Press, 7 Dec. 1969; quoted in Paul Levitt, J. M. Synge: Bibliography of Published Criticism, 1974, p.6.) "
