| contents | DOOMED VOLUNTEERS: TWO GREAT POLITICAL PLAYS FROM IRELAND Heinz Kosok Lengua y Literatura IRA Byrne Friel Tragedy Political Drama Seamus Byrne’s Design for a Headstone (1950) and Brian Friel’s Volunteers (1975) are some of the most controversial plays in the canon of Irish drama, exceptional in their explicit political implications. Loosely based on the role of the IRA in the Republic, they achieve a high degree of universality in their discussion of such provocative issues as political radicalism, internment, hunger strike, the role of the Church in society, passive resistance vs. active rebellion, justice vs. humanity, and loyalty vs. betrayal. In their tragic endings, both plays reveal a deep pessimism on the part of their authors. 2010 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478348696004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4783 Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies (Brasil) Num.58 |
