Brian Friel’s Dramatic Artistry

This work contains 15 essays from a broad international panel of theatre historians, directors, critics and dramaturges on Brian Friel's work. The essays have been collected from the "Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies" and make an important contribution to our understanding of Friel's plays. They explore the ways in which the plays mediate the boundaries of language, culture, and geography and the limits of physical and spiritual disabilities with the healing powers of community ritual and the arts.
