"Swapping Stories About Apollo and Cuchulainn": Brian Friel and the De-Gaelicizing of Ireland

Having spent thirty years writing about contemporary and historical Ireland in such plays as Philadelphia, Here I Come! (1964), The Freedom of the City (1973), Faith Healer (1979), and Dancing at Lughnasa (1990), Brian Friel has been celebrated as this generation's "Irish" dramatist. Indeed, his works have enjoyed unrivaled success both in the Irish Republic and in Northern Ireland throughout his long career. Nonetheless, Translations (1980) is rightly considered a watershed in his career — a play that transported its author from the ranks of Irish popular culture to those of the twentieth-century canon.
