A deeply thoughtful, comprehensively informed study of the greatest living playwright of the English-speaking world. From now on, anyone who wants to write about Brian Friel will need to take this book into account. - Terry Teachout, drama critic, the Wall Street Journal ""Modernity, Community, and Place in Brian Friel’s Drama is written by a scholar with keen insight into contemporary Irish and Northern Irish culture. . . . His evocative readings of such plays as Philadelphia, Here I Come!, Faith Healer, and The Freedom of the City have significantly revised my understanding of this distinguished body of drama. Simply put, it’s a terrific book."" - Stephen Watt, author of Beckett and Contemporary Irish Writing
