Book Synopsis 'Tinkers' by : Mary Burke
Book excerpt: Irish playwright J.M. Synge created influential but misunderstood representations of travellers or 'tinkers'. This work traces the history of the 'tinker' back to medieval Irish historiography and English Renaissance literature and forward to contemporary US screen depictions.
