Abstract
A critical overview of Synge's masterpiece, The Playboy of the Western World, examining how the romantic representation of the wild west of Ireland where the tale end of an ancient oral culture had survived and thrived to provide a vital bulwark against what W.B. Yeats excoriated as the "filthy modern tide" of modernity.
