Resumo: | Dion Boucicault’s three Irish plays: The Colleen Bawn (1860), Arrah-na-Pogue (1864) and The Shaughraun (1874), while not critically significant, owe their perennial popularity to their appeal to Irish romantic nationalism and to their memorable character types. While Boucicault’s character Myles Murphy or Myles na gCopaleen (Myles of the Ponies), an example of his native Irish hero, was the first of a series of rogue heroes that John Millington Synge developed in his character of Christy Mahon, Boucicault also owes the character of Myles to American native heroes like Sam Patch, Davy Crockett and Mose the Bowery B’hoy. While the plays are not great drama, they are good theatre and a less self-conscious national theatre has found room for both Boucicault and Synge. |

Enquanto o personagem de Boucicault, Myles Murphy ou Myles na gCaleen (Myles of the Ponies), um exemplo de seu herói irlandês nativo, foi o primeiro de uma série de heróis desonestos que John Millington Synge desenvolveu em seu personagem Christy Mahon, Boucicault também deve o personagem Myles a heróis nativos americanos como Sam Patch, Davy Crockett e Mose the Bowery B'hoy. Embora as peças não sejam um grande drama, elas são um bom teatro, e um teatro nacional menos autoconsciente encontrou espaço para Boucicault e Synge.UFSC2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2020v73n2p13710.5007/2175-8026.2020v73n2p137Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 73 No. 2 (2020): The Irish Theatrical Diaspora; 137-144Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 73 n. 2 (2020): The Irish Theatrical Diaspora; 137-1442175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2020v73n2p137/43359Copyright (c) 2020 Maureen O'Rourke Murphyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMurphy, Maureen2020-05-25T14:33:32Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/67392Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2020-05-25T14:33:32Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
