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.

Mary Burke is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and Queen's University Belfast, and was the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Keough-Naughton Fellow at the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame in 2003-04. She joined the University of Connecticut as an Assistant Professor of English in 2004, where she teaches twentieth-century Irish literature and directs the Irish Literature Concentration.
