Sinopsis

This book is about the Wildean aesthetic in contemporary Irish drama. Through elucidating a discernible Wildean strand in the plays ofáBrian Friel, Tom Murphy, Thomas Kilroy, Marina Carr and Frank McGuinness, it demonstrates that Oscar WildeâÇÖs importance to IrelandâÇÖs theatrical canon is equal to that ofáW. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge and Samuel Beckett. The study examines key areas of the Wildean aesthetic: hisáaestheticizing of experience via language and self-conscious performance, the notion of the dandy in Wildean texts and how such a figure is engaged with in todayâÇÖs dramas, and how hisácontribution to the concept of a âÇÖverbal theatreâÇÖ hasáinfluenced his dramatic successors. It is of particular pertinence toáacademics and postgraduate students in the fields of Irish drama and Irish literature, and for those interested in the work of Oscar Wilde, Brian Friel, Tom Murphy, Thomas Kilroy, Marina Carr and Frank McGuinness.okokpoj
