Underlying it all is Synge’s love of nature, the pantheism with which he replaced his family’s Protestantism. On page 55, Hewitt quotes from Synge’s Autobiography: “Even at this time I was a worshipper of nature”. Hewitt supports this reading by focusing on two prose passages where Synge vividly renders his dreams in surrealistic prose. Sean Hewitt’s JM Synge: Nature, Politics, Modernism gives a rich account of the three areas of its title.
