Irish Playwright, Poet and Travel Writer
John Millington Synge is one of Ireland’s best known playwrights and one of the founders of the Abbey Theatre. Born in Dublin in 1871 he attended both the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin receiving scholarships from the academy and graduating from Trinity with a focus on language studies. Meeting William Butler Yeats in Paris, Synge was inspired to learn more about the Irish language and along with Yeats, Lady Gregory was instrumental in the setting up of the Abbey Theatre. The Abbey produced many of his plays such as In the Shadow of the Glen and Playboy of the Western World.

Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in November 1667. Entering Trinity College at the tender age of 14 Swift found himself ill-suited to the institution. The records show that he neglected his studies and on several occasions was censured for, amongst other transgressions, ‘tavern haunting’. Swift is probably best known to modern audiences from his satirical works, most notably in what became known as Gulliver’s Travels. After the completion on his B.A. and M.A. in Trinity, Swift moved to London and worked as a political pamphleteer for both the Whigs and Tories, at various times. In 1713 Swift returned to Ireland on his appointment as Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral. He soon became a champion of the Irish cause and is now considered an Irish patriot. Swift died in 1745 and was buried in his own cathedral.
