Shaw, Synge, Connolly, and Socialist provocation

**Shaw, Synge, Connolly, and Socialist Provocation** is a compelling study that explores how Bernard Shaw's presence in Irish radical debate manifested itself not only through his direct contributions but also in the way he and his efforts were engaged by others--most notably by the socialist agitator James Connolly and the socially liberal dramatist J. M. Synge. Although the focus is on Shaw, Connolly and Synge are heavily considered because their Shavian contexts present significant unexplored insight into both. Ritschel opens an important door to the hidden dialogue between Shaw, Synge, and Connolly. The culmination is a gripping, even suspenseful, narrative of the intellectual march to Dublin's 1916 Easter Rising.
