In Wicklow and West Kerry Produced by Charles Aldarondo. HTML version by Al Haines. "In Wicklow and West Kerry" by J. M. Synge is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work reflects Synge's observations and experiences as he traverses the picturesque landscapes of County Wicklow and West Kerry in Ireland, capturing the essence of rural life, the vibrant culture, and the enduring struggles of its people. Through a series of essays, Synge introduces us to the vagrants, farmers, and various inhabitants, illustrating their relationships with the land and each other, while also revealing the poignant beauty of their surroundings. The opening of the book presents a rich tapestry of life among the tramps and vagrants of Wicklow, discussing their lifestyles, the hardships they face, and the unique vitality they possess. Synge shares vivid anecdotes about the people he encounters, such as an elderly tramp who values his long white hair as a mark of dignity and a young man who, despite his illness, fervently tries to sell a handmade table. Through thoughtful reflections on the local customs, such as the peculiar reputation of itinerants and the tragic elements of their existence, Synge sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the human condition against the backdrop of Ireland's rugged landscape.
